Very grainy; could use more contrast.

Azure Dreams of a Red Dinghy

The abstract effect is nice; wish the boat wasn't cut off on the edges. Also, whatever that is on the left edge is sort of distracting; wish it had been cloned out.

It is only a humble dinghy, but it shares a world with swans...

Bumped my vote a notch for the title.

Rollin` on the River

DNM... oh wait, wait, there is a boat in this bridge picture. And a lovely bridge picture it is too, I love the clouds. Would be better if the backdrop arch was centered and darkened a little; almost looks blown along the right side. Maybe crop the right 5% or so; halfway between the edge and the last pier. I actually really like the border on this, well done there.

7-ish if this were a Bridge or B&W challenge.

I'm sure you were cropping distractions off the top - can still see reflections. Puts the boat too close to the top though. I really like the textures in this photo; the gravel at the bottom really complements the ripples at the top. Wish you could have framed it better...

I'm sure this was difficult to pull off :) Love the idea, but the lighting just doesn't cut it, especially for advanced editing.

Don't like the border color - doesn't pull with the rest of the photo. I'd have gone with black, or matched the dark shadows towards the bottom. Other than that, I really like this.

At least half a dozen of these, but yours is the best. Closest to the original in composition and lighting - well done.

Agreed on the water, but I actually like him just a little blurry - pulls the attention to the right side of the wave, which is just beautiful.
