Good work with duplicating the ripples. Might need to be grainier and blurrier to truly capture the feel of the original. I think, however, that this one will probably score the highest of the Nessie pics due to lacking that blurry, grainy, OOF look of the original.

Great job... Processing is a serious let down... There is another entry of a duck that was MUCH closer in terms of the feel of the photograph..

Yours however NAILS the ripple and the silhouette.. I wish this had been processed a bit more like the original... 8..
