It's a lovely shot, I like it very much, but it seems somewhat peripheral to the challenge topic to me... perhaps others will see it differently :-)

beautiful title, interesting shot. a little too contrived to fit my concept of "zen photography" but I'm sure it will do well.

Ah, Thomas Gray... "Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife / they kept the noiseless tenor of their ways"

Very fine shot :-)

Sure beat the heck out of your prediction didn't you? It's nice to see a full-tone shot take a ribbon in this challenge. Congrats!

Two Points of the Ancients

I concur with what the Doc says. I'd add to it that the use of a polarizer might help with the rendering of the oblique surfaces on the black arrowhead. But my major reservations about the image lie in the very static composition and the lack of separation of the black arrowhead from the pebbles. I think the 5.5 is a decent score regardless.
