Serene and beautiful. Seeing the gentle ripples in the water, I'm impressed that the details are so sharp with 1/5 sec. exposure.

A shot that is done often, but so very rarely done this well! Magnificent light and color and perfect placement of the boat in the comp.

The small ripples add so much depth to this image... as does the shoreline that decreases in height as it moves from left to right. Wonderfully seen and the processing is top notch.

I love the soft light along with the simple composition. The rippled reflection is nice too, better than a mirror one IMO.
