One of the most unique approaches to this challenge.

Harsh overhead light hurts this shot because of the blown out reflections on the leaves. The long exposure, however, makes the water come out nice and silky.

City reflections

Comment:
Nice and clean look to this shot. I like the contrast between the crisp focus on the buildings and the blur of the reflection. It does, however, seem like a bit more color on the water than what I see in the background. That won't lower my score though because I can't be sure that it's not simply a product of the long exposure. 8

Thicker then...

Thicker than...This really stands out for me, especially in the title. I like the contrast between the clear water in the glass and the very interesting shape of the colored drop descending. The off centered composition works well here.

Something seems off here in regards to the color, maybe it's the white balance. Try composing this next time so that the straw doesn't terminate or cross the branches in the background. I like the concept and the out of the box thinking with the straw in the catcus.

The water seems unnaturally dark here. I can't help but wonder if this is how it looked in person or if this is a result of post processing. Since you have a definite and clean seperation between the rocks and the water, it would be easy to expose the two areas seperately and combine them here in advanced editing.

Nice capture, especially considering the harsh overhead light. I'd like to see this shot much earlier or later in the day. I look forward to the end of the challenge to see where this was taken.

Great reflection on the water. I would have instinctively gone with a longer shutter speed but that would have blurred the reflection instead of capturing it the way you did.
