I have another version of this where I edited out all the stones, foam and other bits so that the botton of the picture looks more like a mirror. Pity that this challenge is not advanced editing.

I gave this a 7 -
this picture is painfully underscored.
I'd have thought that a nice landscape would be a sure path to the voters' favor - guess not!

sigh, subtlety is often underappreciated.

This could have scored much better with me, if you had angled the camera down and filled the frame with the pattern. Good effort though. As is, a 5.
