I really love this image, everything about it. It has always stayed in my mind ever since the "chrome" challenge. I just had to come back, after finding it again, and add it to my favorites..... I LOVE it.....

Wow. Very creative to even consider entering this for a chrome challenge, since the liquid is actually just ordinary water. This photo totally works. Nicely done.

WOW. Love this image. So simple and clean. The hook looks like it could use a little sharpening but not too much. Outstanding job.

That's a "catchy" concept! ;^) Good idea. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is a unique idea and the subject is nice and sharp. The water looks good too. Maybe a little bit more room at the top and maybe even at the bottom for the reflection, might have improved it in my opinion. Still good though. 7

Beautiful photo. This one makes you stop and look. Nice ripple. Great clarity. Looks like the photographer put thought into this shot. nice work!

If this one doesn't ribbon I'll be shocked! This is awesome - you even have the water looking like liquid chrome. I would have liked to see the focus a bit sharper on the lure - but it's still outstanding.
