The mood is great for this image. There's too much of the concrete path to the right though for this to be an effective piece. A tighter crop will do you well.

The blue tones set a fantastic mood for this photo. I love it. Very very very good. :-)

in the challenge i didnt score this all that well...i didnt see where the lighting was a major element...however standing on its own i really like it...i love the almost monochromatic feel...the deep sense of blue is great...it makes this scene one i would like to look at often...it has a very calming and serene feel...its beautiful

This may sound odd, since I'm pretty sure the lighting made the color, but I'm thinking that the color here is the main focus, and not the 'lighting' per se. Not really sure that makes any sense, but when I look at this, I say "wow...nice color" rather than "wow, nice lighting".
That being said...the color really is the only thing in the shot. There really isn't much else to look at. There's a silhouetted horizon and a few small clouds, but really not a point of interest other than the amazing color.
The dark area at the bottom doesn't really add anything to the photo since we really can't see what it is. I'm thinking this might have been more effective for me had it bee just a bit brighter out.
As is, I think that the white area over the trees in the horizon is a bit of a distraction since the rest of the image is blue.
I wish I had more to add, but it's really hard to see any detail in this at all. More of an abstract really.

lighting is nice, good color. crop the walkway (lower left), the black water, angle towards center left maybe.

Interesting stuff. I wonder if you couldn't successfully have pushed the composition into a more blatantly graphic shot? Placing the horizon a touch higher up frame, and including a touch more of the foreground shore, and the conjunction of fore- and back-ground would have added a strong pair of lines to the shot, making the silhouette stronger, and not really losing much of the impact of the blueness, I wouldn't imagine. find here, the foreground hat you have included pretty weak, not serving much effective purpose. It has strong potential, I think, however.
