Challenge:Time Passing (Advanced Editing II) Camera:Canon EOS-300D Rebel Location: Springbrook National Park, Queensland, Australia Date: Nov 14, 2004 Aperture: F3.5 ISO: 400 Shutter: 1/1000 Date Uploaded: Nov 18, 2004
Cave Creek once flowed over a waterfall in front of the present stone bridge. As time passed, water gouged out a cavern in the softer rock behind the waterfall, while a pothole formed in the creek above. Finally, after thousands of years, the water broke through the roof of the cavern.
Cave Creek now plunges through that hole into the cavern below. One of Australia’s largest glow-worm colonies lives beside the track and on the roof of this cave.
All I did was sharpened it up a bit, that's about all. New to digital photography and no photoshop expert so don't really know how to do much else.

Thanks for all your comments, they were very useful.
If you read my description above you will see why I believed it fitted the theme of 'Time Passing' very well.
I included the swimmer because I thought it added a human element to the image and I liked the little splash of colour on her costume against the dark colours of the background.
I did take some pictures with a slow shutter to get the familiar 'waterfall' blurry look but I thought they looked a little clichéd.
The response has encouraged me and I plan to enter more challenges in the future and see if I can improve my rating.
This photo has a good amount of negative space which adds to dramatic flair. I'm not certain that the swimmer adds much to the shot. Did you try stopping down and lengthening the exposure? That particular technique may have served well in this circumstance.
Lastly, there is not an obvious connection to the challenge theme that I can ascertain, and perhaps it is the swimmer 'passing time' leisurely that you are attempting to convey here. It's not that obvious to me.
