Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

Beautiful place Ewa. It looks very serene. I think the only thing missing are the ducks... where's the ducks? They always seem to love places like this. Keep up the great work.
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

The virtue of the camera is not the power it has to transform the photographer into an artist, but the impulse it gives him to keep on looking. - Brooks Anderson

Such a lovely composition. Such a nice variety of colors, especially all the greens. A very mellow image. I'll bet a lot of wildlife like this place too.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

"Imperfection is beauty; madness is genius & it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. And when it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I'm really better than them."--Marilyn Monroe
I can see why you would want to spend time here Ewa.
And if this image is representative of a typical day at this park ... besides the obvious natural beauty, I am quite impressed with the tranquility of the waters' surface ... annnnnd ... that still blue sky.
"Quietly contemplative" ... is how I would describe this setting. Almost zen-like to me, because of the aforementioned two elements.
Nice tonal and colour range. Annnnnd ... for some reason the site's server is not responding and only have the thumbnail now. :o|
Caveats? Really minor ... I do like the introduction of the stones and their own diagonal line in the bottom left, little overexposed ... just not sure how you could improve on that given everything else seems to be perfectly exposed. Ehh ... 'we' can forgive you for that. (<--- Just teasing you here. :oP)
Smaller area of brightness beside the furthest tree right, just at about mid screen? ... might have been tempted to clone that portion out. It is a small distraction.
What I really like is the receding and leading lines of the water's shorelines/banks. Very subtle and very effective. I had to dissuade my eyes and brain from looking at the beauty of the this spot to don my art critic's glasses and really see why this image works so well in my mind.
Lovely image Ewa ... and I don't write that to sound trite. I really enjoy scenes like this and thank you for sharing it, as well as giving 'us' another glimpse at your area. :o)
