Thanks everyone for your votes, comments and faves. I got 6faves during voting, which is great. No other shot in the top10 got more than 6 during the voting phase ;) and by the difference in votes I can understand I got bit with DMNC at times. Not to fret this is a tiny stream alright. I did initially think I blurred out the water too much with the longer exposure.
I'm glad many of you enjoyed the image. It was a feel good image for me. I first imagined it in b/w(jpg) but was about to scrap entering the shot till I opened the RAW to check if the color version would be better, and I was so glad, it was indeed! This is probably 1 of 10 frames, this being the last one. It was getting late and since I kinda liked what I got , didn't go back to reshoot the next day, plus it wouldn't fit with my schedule.

The cucumber...? hehe. yeah the stone near the bottom left. A stone stuck in a vertical position it seems. I could clone out the little spots and/or tiny bubbles off of it.

Congratulations on your top ten entry. This was one of only seven photos I gave a "10" to for this challenge. By the way, is that a sunken cucumber in the lower left corner? :-)
Very very nice. Begs the question, did you place the seeds on the rock? Doesn't matter - still a great shot. Nice colors, composition, balance, dof. Good work.
This is one of the best! It may have been a bit better (in my opinion) if the top rock was dry and that little green worm thing wasn't on the backside. Still rocks tho! (pun intended)
:)
Very nice! I love the colors. An out of the box sort of shot for the challenge, but one that could easily and rightfully be wearing a ribbon next week. - 10
