Quigleyand I spent an afternoon shooting at this location. It was a pleasure to go out with him. We both tried different exposure times and used ND filters to get some movement in the water.
I thank Max for letting me enter this shot for the challenge.I will probably go back again.

Stunning use of long exposure and oversaturation. The focus & perspective/POV are just wonderful. Nice vignetting too. One of my top 10 picks. Congrats on the top 20 finish.
Stunning... The oversaturation works beautifully here. The composition is terrific and the lighting/vignetting is superb. It's almost "too much", but not quite. 9 from me.
OH wow...I love those lines...it really looks like a jewel...why did you save this at this size when you could have taken full advantage of the 720 pixels???? I like the selective desat for this overall...8
Very nice use of a colored reflection and a motion blur.
The processing and/or saturation of the green is a bit excessive for my taste, but still a good work.
A fantastic picture that unfortunately is spoiled with over processing and over saturation. Bring that brown back and turn saturation down and i would give it star rating!
