Love the light, the tone, the water and the chess piece. Basically, everything.

Love this -- fav! It has that feel of drowsiness I think because of the way you captured the water. Wonderful image!

Cool take on the word, and your edit matches the word beautifully.

[Caroline]

This is lovely! Very hypnagogic indeed.

[The Mysterious Mr Biscuit]

Not the image I imagined, exactly, because we're all very different, but the "flights of fancy" type thing is the kind of association I made, too.

[Sue]

Fabulous capture for the word! Fav

beautiful silky water!

[☠northy]

@Cheesebiscuit totally overloaded... but in the grand scheme of things, picking a word will be quick and easy enough to do :)

[Katie]

Very cool!

[Kitti Nelson]

I am wondering if the Knight is an allegorical stand-in for the real dark horse in these shots?!

[☠northy]

@kittikat naaaaaaaaaaaaaah ;p

[Kitti Nelson]

@northy love it - makes an awesome thread through your work

[Johanna]

(Yes, catching up is a silly business, so late for everything, I am...) Very dreamy and hypnagogic. I can see why Mr Bifcuit chose yours as a fave for the challenge. :)

[Cathrine Mitchell]

I love this shot it has lots of character, interesting how the Kinight doesn't know if he should jump in or not. Great water flow.

[FPG]

Yeah that makes me sleepy.
