Congrats on your Win, by the unerring judgement of People's Choice!
Interestingly, this Challenge was in general one of the most misunderstood in terms of requirements, and people tended to submit a lot more of wrongly chosen entries than usual!
In this one I also decided not to remove those, so you can see how many photographers need to concentrate more on the purpose of the Challenge, instead of just dropping anything in there... So let me use the opportunity to urge all contestants to 1) learn the photo terminology, 2) carefully choose their entries, and 3) remember that their choice displays their abilities to all!
Thanks for participating.

Location

This was taken here in Prescott Arizona in an area called the Dells.

Time

I love the way this came out and we love this area with a beautiful lake to walk our 3 pack of rescue dogs all girls and of course take photos!

Lighting

This was a beautiful but slightly overcast day but perfect for the water reflections.

Equipment

I carry both my professional Canon Camera with numerous lens and filters with me, my walking stick that doubles as a tripod and my IPhone 13 because you never know….

Inspiration

I love showing the beauty of mile high Arizona! Most people do not know we have all the seasons here including snow and the beautiful unique lakes and mountains.

Editing

This was a a perfect shot (amazingly) and only a crop was used.

In my camera bag

See answer above.

Feedback

Shoot everything that you have a gut feeling about… when I do I have the best shots, don’t second guess and not shoot, those are always regrets.
