| Hi Jon - welcome to the world of DPC-unfriendly! I quite liked this one in the challenge - nice different take on the subject matter and well presented. Those who liked it REALLY liked it if you look at the average score of your commenters, and you got a lot of comments during voting, too. Both to me are better indicators that the final score. Though I will say that a 5.97 doesn't suck! |

Positives:
Very nicely done naturally impressionistic photograph. Unique and very interesting perspective. Great idea. Good technicals.
Technicals:
The composition is well balanced with the inclusion of the tall greenery in the background. Color, exposure and composition are all good. Reflections make good subjects for photographic studies.
The Challenge:
There are probably two factors that combined to hold this image below 6. One is the strong attachment of DPC voters toward sharply focused images. Though there are numerous notable exceptions the norm for this type image is to score lower. Though you have smartly included the bike tires in the water, it is not immediately apparent to quick voters what that is and many may have voted without understanding that. The guy in the center is NOT on a bicycle and the bicycles of the other two are small and that might have contributed to a slight DNMC reaction by some voters.
Suggestions:
For this challenge you should have either not included the one guy or had him on a bike, maybe yours. :) Though having the front tires and splash in the frame is a great idea it does not have as dramatic an effect as it might. Perhaps including more tire within the frame would increase its effect by making it more apparent to the viewer exactly what it is. Have the kids closer to the water to make their bikes more apparent to the casual voter would help to.
I do like this image a lot! |

| Very very nice, I hope nobody will say that the wheels on the bottom are distracting! I really like that there is no distortion of the perspective of the figures. And the small waves are just perfect for this interesting effect! Bumping to 8 |

| a little bit more actual bikes in the bottom of the frame would be even better. A nice concept for this challenge, I like it. |

| Clever, would've been perfect if you'd cropped the tires out of the bottom. Then the illusion would've left me wondering how'd you do that. |
