I knew this would win... The leaf against all that blue space feels quiet and poetic. and the small water mark on the leaf add just enough detail without taking away from the simplicity. Very effective vignette... Should score at least 7 imo... Congratulations, neat! 🫶🏻

I'm going to guess this is a candid "between poses" moment in a portraiture session? That's how it reads to me, anyway. Regardless, I find it amazing how the best moments are ones exactly like this--the times when subjects let their guard down and behave in a "real way" because they aren't thinking about the camera. Lovely DOF and processing, too. Looks like it was shot by a well-seasoned pro. ;-)

More waterscape, IMO. I may have tried this in b/w but it's a beautiful scene. 6

I like the editing - maybe it was to much for some voters?
