This is very surreal, you don't know if the objects are in water or floating in air

Thanks for the comments; I really couldn’t believe my luck with this one. The setting moon suddenly appeared between the cloud and mist layers then a few seconds later the boat appeared. Even the ducks seemed to be cooperating that morning :-)

I like how the elements (moon, boat, ducks) are all about the same proportions, nicely positioned, and there's no horizon- sky and lake are one

I like how the water flows into the sky, the moonlight flows in the water, and the other elements (boat, ducks) cross the scene. A great feeling of quiet motion, if you know what I want to mean. Superb. endika

Oh Colin, you've gone and made it rough on us all right from the get go! This is so nice! From the full moon, to the boat, the reflection of the moon on the water and my favorite part (well okay the whole thing is my favorite part) I love the ducks in the forground. Just gorgeous!

Not much wrong with this Colin!

Colin, what I see is: two technologies of floating and both of them are perfect, on the same surface and under the same Moon.
Many, many Moons apart them and the broken reflex on the water symbolize that. All of that on the same water/sky colour. Just perfect. I just couldn't put together in the better way, what I have in mind.

Such a simple picture, it seems. That's what makes it so beautiful. Great composition.

Priceless. The seamlessness of the air/water interface is amazingly beautiful, with the very subtle shades of coloration. Love it.

Beautiful shot Colin! I love the orange of the moon contrasting so against the pale blue of the rest of the sky/ water. Quite a shot.
