An amazingly beautiful shot!

Very beautiful scenary and the mist rising above the water is the icing on the cake. Well deserved first place!

That pic is absolutely STUNNING! I especially like the composition. By the way, I have a brain injury with a pretty bad case of amnesia (I tell other people that I'm "MENTAL") but at least I didn't "forget" what great color, composition, and Photoshop work is. Not that I have any idea if Photoshop was used, but what does it matter (unless it's changes so much from the original that it hardly fits the definition of "photography"). Does anyone know where this image was taken? (Hope I didn't miss that part).

Great color, composition & exposure. I'm still wondering how you got out in the center of the canal - was it on a bridge? Beautiful shot!
