Stunning image, Igor, absolutely stunning in my opinion. The lower contrast and that beautiful, ethereal light definitely creates a dream-like feel. Superb how the pattern in the foreground mirrors the shape of the clouds on the left hand side. This reminds me of some of the seascape images from Joel Meyerwitz's Cape Light. A couple of suggestions; first is to examine the extreme upper left hand corner which appears a bit darker than you likely intended; perhaps a mask that did not reach entirely to the corner's edge. My other suggestion is to print this very large and get it on the wall, if you haven't already. A phenomenal fine art image.

I really like the soft pastel colors, the sweet light and the depth of the image. I also agree with Vance's comments.

That is surprisingly beautiful light. The comp and light just work perfectly together here.

The soft tones work very well to create a relaxing image.

Dreamy, indeed. Wonderful softness to this one, such subtle colors and even though the horizon is in the middle, the top and bottoms halves are quite different in color and tone, so it works well. Superb.

Bravo, Igor. I love the thin line of distant shore and the sky mirroring the foreground. Understated and beautiful.

Igor, I love this image! Excellent composition with such wonderful colors and light. A true Fine Art image with a beautiful feel. The understated processing is perfect and I sure appreciate that you did it that way. Wonderful work!

The kudos are well deserved, not just nice light, but nice processing...
That being said, I think lowering the exposure a tad would make this a richer looking image.

Beautiful image, Igor. Has an infinity pool look to it. The soft light and your soft processing work very well.

This is very nice, Igor. I especially like the way that the clouds sort of mirror the foreground land and the way that they form a sideways V in the composition. Great eye to see and capture this symmetry. In the extreme upper left hand corner there is some vignetting perhaps from the polarizer - that should be an easy fix.

Hello Igor,
This is a marvelous photograph. The softness (which I suppose is a combination of the foggy conditions and your deft processing) really makes this appear to be a scene from a dream. I am also getting the feeling that I am looking at this view from a great height ... giving the impression that I am flying among the clouds. The composition is simple, yet complex at the same time, which makes it very interesting.
One of the best images I have seen here...

Igor, I have nothing to say that hasn't been said, but will simply say that this is very, very nice. The title is very fitting.

Igor,
This is exquisite.Simplicity at its best, yet full of things to explore. One of those details that adds to the image is the thin line of the far shore and especially the illumination of that shore on the left.
Not sure if this was mentioned, but the only suggestion I have would be to clone out the filter vignette in the ULC. At least that what it looks like to me.
Wonderful imagery.
Lon
