I was on my way home from work looking for something that would fit this contest. I caught a glimpse of this foliage reflection in this puddle. I shot from many different angles using a tripod and the two second timer (to avoid camera shake) and really liked this one. I hope you do too.

What on Earth is wrong with the voters!?! This was an absolute 10 in my book. So much creativity and vision in something most people would just step over. It appears it got stepped over in the voting as well.

nice title, works with the picture. nice clarity of focus in the reflection. wish the picture could have been shot just a bit wider to better frame your "palate." the current composition makes the reflection feel cut off.

An atypical depiction of this widely used subject. Nice.

cool focal point

This is really pretty... I like the fact that it's only the reflection and you didn't include the source... interesting and somewhat abstract... great colors. good luck.

I find this photo appealing for some reason...maybe it's the colors or the "abstract" feeling. But I just like it.

6 - Nice colors. Criticism; I like that you didn't flip it, but 'somehow' incorporating the 'real', even a little at the top, may have made this even better in my opinion, though you would lose the 'abstract' kind of 'feel' it seems you have gone for. The rock(?), even though barely discernible, is a nice subtle texture and pseudo frame for the 'reflection'.

the colors complement very well, i especially like how the trees in the puddle/water is focused. but, i think the street/sidewalk/pavement could have been a little more focuses because it seems a bit blurry.

This is pretty cool. I think if you had of rotated the image 180 degrees, it would have been better. (so that the trees were not upside down). It really made me look hard though :)
