very close to a ribbon because of the processing. I decided to give my ribbons to the really crazy stuff, though.

Your processing helps a lot. after looking for a little while longer. This makes a pretty good zen creation, 7

I love this one! The darkness in the top right is a little distracting and drawing my eyes away from the subject, but the bird and the composition and the PP are otherwise very very nice!

My pick for the blue, breathtaking and perfectly suited for the challenge. Love the subtlety of the color, the reflection, the bokeh background, compostion, cannot find anything that I would improve, only 10 given in this challenge

Processing reminds me of some Japanese prints I've seen. Quite appropriate considering the challenge topic. I like the peaceful nature of the contemplation, although he was probably studying the water for signs of prey and was about to disturb the peace. The calm before the storm.
