This is the first time that I am surprised by the challenge deadline. I actually wanted to shoot for Bubbles, but now I had to search this week's pics to find something to fit this challenge. I don't expect it to do well.
This image is an outtake of a series from a pond. The funny thing is that I will most probably clone the chair out for the main image. It's interesting how the same element can be a minor distraction or the main subject in a photograph, depending on how you shoot it.

No, that's not noise, there are tiny green plants. Thinking about it...they look like bubbles...d'oh!

This was my favorite in this challenge. Can't believe it did not finish higher!! Love the simplicity, the texture and the color in this picture. It's unusual and well done! Congrats.
8 - Good, and 'different'. Criticism; if it were a gator or 'something', would make it better in my opinion, but I like the humor and as I said the 'different' perspective/aspect. Really like the green, the 'fallen leaves', the shadows.. maybe a touch more vivid or sharp would have made this shot better in my opinion. Technically, while no 'expert', I think you have used the rule(s) very well here for the Challenge. Maybe a slight tighter crop at the fore there, not sure.
