The photo really is wonderful. Mesmerizing motion and contrasting elements... I see Neptune, morphing into an angry sea-bird, about to devour the graffiti-like reflection.

You, especially, could pen a treatise debating the wisdom of entering photographic art into a contest designed to judge stock photography. This photo probably belongs in an art gallery. I don't understand why you, even briefly, considered the possibility it would be received/scored well at DPC.

So, at the risk of looking like a complete idiot and art blind, would someone please point them out?
