Half-open eyes, am I still dreaming? It's that moment of doubt that's so appealing here. The mid-line at 120 adds to the unreality, as do the protruding rocks in the lake echoing the mountains. And then there's the pseudo-dynamism of the rocks as a pod of dolphins, with an attendant whale and other beasts. Beautiful subtle range of tones and detail, befitting a superior black and white. "The Lake" Here's proof that a simple, straight-forward title often affords greater resonance than one more prolonged.
Personal favorite of the challenge.

It's a mirror!

I don't think this meets the intent of the challenge. Nice image though.

I do like this! Brooding and dark. The composition suits the aspect ratio well. Bumping to 8.

Wish you'd cloned out those specks of sensor dust. A pleasing scene, although the diagonal line (reflection of a contrail?) in the lower right leads my eye out of the frame.
