Perfect for this challenge in its simplicity and zen-like feeling.

I am not competent enough to comment or compare entries to Ben's style so I am not going to try.
Such a lonely little plant trying to grow in the murky water and in the shade of the rock that dwarfs it. Thank you for your story.

Nice, but there is a loss of detail, an ironing out that I don't find appealing.

Ben does have a knack for using water for the purposes of subject isolation in an unexpected way. This captures some of that. Beautiful.

nice shapes. I'm not totally convinced by the composition, but the emptiness has a nice texture to it.

You got his smooth blur perfectly. His use of minimalism is captured really well here. I love the simple things. That bending plant growing out of the water is a signature of his. Nice going and good luck.
