Pretty! So serene! Like your title, too.
Was the water really this blue or did you adjust the color in post editing? Either way, I like it!

  Actually, I had my white balance set on incandescent from taking pictures inside the night before and forgot to change it. It made everything blue, but I liked this one. I did lose a few shots before I realized it and changed it.

  One of those happy accidents! One suggestion I read recently was to stick a piece of gafer (spelling??) tape on your LCD whenever you've changed a major setting to remind you to change it back to the original. That particular tape leaves no sticky residue, the expert said, and whenever your settings are set how you normally keep them, just stick the tape somewhere on the camera body. I'm going to try that, as soon as I can buy some of that tape! LOL
