Even with the wood underneath the water, I don't see how this fits in to the wood challenge. However, with the exception of that minor principle, this is an excellent shot. Nice work.
Although it's a very beautiful shot, I don't see wood in there, only water. It's just an assumption that wood is beneath the water, but it could well be something else. 5

I like the image. It's very well photographed, and the water is well caught with great lights. I think the reflections in the water are perhaps a bit distracting, and the association with the challenge probably is too weak to be hugely successful.
Great shot. WOW - is it ever clear. My one critique might be to move it off of the center and have it a little to one side. I love the droplets at the top!
Why do I get the strange feeling you're going to get a lot of people complaining "Where's the wood?" I can see the grain and think you had an interesting idea.
