I just have to be in a challenge in which the comments "blurry," "chaotic," and "disorganized" will be considered good comments. :)
Doubt I have achieved engaging...maybe interesting, though?
Taken on one of those semi-foggy days when the trees were heavy with wet and dripped into the river. I like trying to make melancholy pictures...

There is something very lovely and engaging about reflections in puddles. You've captured the foggy morning feel, thrown in with a little early morning wonder. Lovely capture, even if not for the masses.
This looks cool and could have worked very well for this challenge if the focus hadn't been so prestine. It's much too sharp as is for a blur challenge.
