That's a lotta color! With a 5.33 it's not such a bad score. That'll teach not to enter for the sake of entering, huh? :)

Way too busy and just generally surreal! The color is there, but the photo doesn't give me any lines or guidance of what to look at.

Very interesting location... I look forward to seeing where this is. I love the color and variety in the balls. I wonder if moving them down from middle frame to lower 1/3 would give them more energy and help them hold the eyes more. Currently you have competing background/forground with no clear winner so the eye jumps back and fort over the balls.

Alot of different elements in this shot make if very interesting to looks at. I really like the reflections and how they add dimension to the shot.

nice light, and reflections as well as interesting composition
I'll be interested to see where this was taken. Looks like Chihuly in Columbus, Ohio

There's just too much going on in this picture -- the green background, the reflections, the colorful globes, the lily pads... I think you might have done better to go for one of the globes with a great reflection, or one of the globes with a shallow depth of field.
