Early morning at Derwent Water...it was supposed to be a sunrise shoot but it took so long for the sun to burn through the mist/fog that we had to find other stuff to shoot in the meantime!!

Sitting at 7.3507 at the moment and I still can't believe how well this shot is doing! I have a passion for being outdoors with my camera but because of my health I very rarely get the chance to do so. My best friend and photography buddy Ecce Signum is my link to opportunities like this...or maybe I should say my driver? ;-) It's good to have friends...even if they aren't happy you're beating their highest score ;-)

Well, I'll (hopefully) be asleep when voting finishes so will have to hope I hang on to the 7.4 :-) Thanks to the voters for a great week :-)

Thanks to everyone who voted and left me a comment, it was a great week watching my score climb and I am chuffed to bits to have got the blue :-)

Hey you fabulous Femme Fatale you! Look at you go! Congratulations on the new PB and the blue. I haven't been voting much lately but I would have helped you keep a 7.4 if I did! Beautiful image and it's great to see ya!
Talj - I am elated for you - this is a splendid image and the score is well justified.
Now, maybe get a print made and hang it on your wall! It's worthy.
:-))

Wow!!!! What a beautiful photo!
And very deserving of the amazing score to match :)
Its a bit of an optical illusion, I found it hard to count the nine lol!!!
Good fun and beautiful photo too xxx
AWESOME, T!!! Huge congrats!! (The cats wondered what the yelling was for.) Very nicely deserved high score and what a pretty blue ribbon to go with it!
Beautifully serene. Very nice of the fog to lend you a hand in making you search for something as good as this. Congratulations on first place. Just to be a part of all the great shots here, wish I found the time to shoot something for this challenge.
T, many many congrats on a great score and your blue ribbon. See, I knew it was going to be worth our while getting up so early! Hopefully you will get this printed nice and big. Again, many congrats.
Every time I look at this, I'm amazed by it T. To me, it's as though the poles are floating in mid air and the jetty is slowly, inexplicably becoming transparent.
There aren't many images I would describe as an 'experience', but this is extraordinarily so.
Outstanding. Blue ribbon material.
I can't find anything to critique negatively, and I bet your getting over-run with praise. So I'll just repeat - Outstanding.
I love the calmness I feel when I look at this shot. I think the muted color, the reflections, and the way the sky and water blend together communicate stillness and mystery. One of my favorites of the challenge.
