 This was not a set up, it was taken at the base of a fairly new storm water drain, the mud was ankle deep and the mud had large cracks in it due to the lack of rain. Water bottle was already there.

If you pray to water, then fantastic. But, hard for me to get inspired by this shot.

Pet bottle hurts this image. Since when water is identified by pet bottles? The idea is to be saluted, but not the realisation.

An original take on the challenge. Would perhaps have more impact if you zoomed out, i.e. if more of the dry, arid earth could be seen, perhaps stretching off into the distance. - hope that makes sense. Good effort.

Ok this was definetly a good idea....maybe if you wouldv'e swept up your shot area first, positioned the bottle in maybe one of the corners, etc the shot wouldve worked better.

though I know that this was probably shot on the fly, without staging, I would have loved to have seen a better bottle in there

very powerful message delivered in a very effective way. giving you 10 based on the concept and out-of-the-box thinking.
ps: you could bump up brightness a little in this one.
