The shot is definitely all about water, which for this Challenge, was a very important factor (always is for me). Liked the angle and the fact this was a macro was also good. Nice capture of the light play on the water overall, in my opinion.

Yes, this seems to have been a common feeling about this shot. After it was submitted, I tried desaturating the only the foreground to try and emphasize/focus on the water on the edge of the rocks.

7 - Very nice. Difficult, but like to have seen the bottom/fore more in focus as well or otherwise perhaps cropped, or softened, not sure.

this nearly works, but not quite!
there's something about it?
I'm not quite sure what though................
maybe it's that there is no "punch" to it?
the water looks very inviting and the dof is great.
perhaps it's because there is no where for the eye to focus on.
yep, that's it.
I think :-)
