This looks like a very good fountain shot--really smooth water! But it's too small to see much here. The crop seems too extreme--the sides of the fountain are important here, and the crop is otherwise too tight. all around. Perhaps you were trying for a macro effect, but a macro effect isn't the same as a tightly cropped photo--you need to be closeup or show fine details of the image that you would only see if you were closeup.
Why did you enter this shot into a Macro contest? This shot is, in my opinion, the farthest thing from a Macro shot.
Outside of far from meeting the challenge, the shot appears to have nice focus, it is an intereting capture. The washing out of the water near the bottom of the fountain is a nice touch. This is a good night shot.
Without this being close to the challenge at hand, I am unable to mark this very high.
I wish your photo was larger... and I'm not sure how this is macro, but it looks like a really lovely photo. for that, you're getting a good score from me! (if you can upload a larger version after the challenge, i'd love to see it!!)
This is a really pretty photo. Don't forget to take advantage of the whole 640 pixel width on your submissions. Unfortunately, despite the beautiful rendering of this image, it doesn't look like a macro shot to me.
The small size will damage the scores on this worthy image. The size is 180x266. Try for an image size where the shortest side is no smaller than 400 if your camera supports it.
