Beautiful serene colors!!! I really like this shot quite a bit. The softness that you've given it really helps to set the mood.

Even the fence has a "green haze" over it. I may have bumped up the green....think maybe a bit too much though.

Lush scene - and definitely puts me in a very fine state of mind. Lovely - if a touch over saturated.

At first glance of this photo, I don't really see any emotion here. I then checked the title, and Tranquility is definitely not a emotion. A mood? I'll buy that, but the challenge is to capture an emotion.

The photo is very cool, and for that ill give it a 5. It would score higher, but its not on topic.

This is a lovely setting and the softness adds to the feeling.

Lovely shot, greens are a little too saturated and unnatural looking here though. Composition is not quite clear enough for this to be a winning shot.

I like the composition a lot, but find the green to be a bit too saturated.

really good photo.

I'm looking at this challenge as being one that is trying to get a photographer to show a mood *from* his subject, not trying to evoke a mood *for* the subject from the viewer. You've set out to do the latter here. The scene may be tranquil for someone, but I don't seen anyone actually *being* tranquil here.

Lovely capture.

Lovely shot of a a lovely location but I can´t help if it hadn´t seemed even more tranquil if you would have taken a couple of steps forward and skipped that fence. Anyway, good colours and I like the tonal range in this shot.

Very calming photo, Great composition. Would like to see more color in fence to break up all the green.

Lovely variation of greens, evoking a sense of the title. Nice leading lines.

Although I don̢۪t say this is a bad picture I have scored this low.
Low in my book is not extremely low, but I guess there will be other people thinking the same way I do who don̢۪t leave a comment.
Don̢۪t take this the wrong way, this is my own opinion, and I am trying to let you understand what some voters may think.

In my opinion this does not meet the challenge, the description of the challenge: Take a picture that captures an emotion.
I looked hard, but I don̢۪t see an emotion. This could be my fault, but that̢۪s the reason why I voted lower as I would normaly do.

Vey nice picture, but i do not see any mood in it. Color is very good though.

This one looks like a post card. Possible just a little too much green corrections but not bad at all. Super.

I like this, tranquill for sure. For me, I do not see the expression of it though, just a feeling of it. It seems to have some jaggies on the rail(lower middle left) due to over sharpening plus slight halo. 8

I can almost hear the frogs croaking now! I love your photo, but it seems a tad too green for me. I enjoy the composition of the fence leading into the image.

Nice. Try cropping out the post on the far left and see how that looks.
