I think the water shot was extremely predictable for this challenge, so to do it and make it work, it needed to be really special. This is a nice water motion photo, but there'snothing that sets it apart from the rest. Also, the blur is not as evident as it needs to be.
I really need more of a subject to cling to. The water is flowing beautifully, but it doesn't really grab my attention so I find when I look at this picture I am looking for something to grab onto. 6
Nice stock image. Pleasing to view in the summetime! I like the motion in this - it is not overdone (turned into ethereal mist by a long shutter speed).
