 Serendipity has to find us - we cannot search for serendipity. Walking along a lakeshore, I happened upon this bottle of Smirnoff and a fishing bobber, both in the "bottoms up" position. Hopefully, no accidents precipitated this serendipitous discovery!

The lighting washes the image too much

This picture fails to meet the criteria of the challenge. Discarded booze bottles and fishing tackle are not uncommon sights in a pond, unfortunately. As an image outside the theme of serendipity it so-so. Once again, it doesn't make much of a surprising statement--i.e., it says nothing new about pollution. It lacks detail in the darker values and the contrast between the red and the muddier colors could be much stronger.

Good idea... Some folk's idea of serendipity differs from others. :) Needs a little more contrast.

Sorry, I don't see how it meets the challenge. Maybe you happened to be somewhere and you got this shot, but if that's the challenge criterion, couldn't ANY picture meet the challenge?

Technically I find the photo to be rather flat and cropped ( or framed ) too tightly. Some color saturation adjustments might help.

But... isn't that a bad thing? Liquor is always better when the bottle is full!
