Taken with a tripod on the first night of a fishing trip with my co-workers and friends. We had a great weekend and yes, we did get lots of trouts. :o)
Imported in LR, small crop and rotation, white balance with natural light. Saved as jpg.
Opened in CS3, cloned out a few branches on the upper left side. Tonal Contrast with Nik Color Efex Pro plugin, smart sharpening, save for Web. Re-open web version, smart sharpening again, save for Web again.

A gorgeous water/landscape. Excellent composition with a painterly quality. I'm really happy you didn't overcook the colors or present a faux tempestous sky. Perhaps it could use a human presence. A high mark from me.
I'm not a member so I can't vote on member challenges. Instead, I look through the entries for images that make me stop clicking on to the next one. This is one of those images....
A perfectly titled image. Well composed, effective low-key light and a sense of place that conveys serenity. Hope it does well.
