This image rec'd a 9 from me. Outstanding wildlife image and amazing environment. Love the reflection, especially the little green plant. This should have finished higher. Well done!

I'm very surprised this didn't finish much higher. It was one of my favorites in this challenge. Keep up the good work!

Congratulations on the blue, Christophe. It's a striking image. I gave this a 5 because of the brightness of the foreground water relative to the dark stormy sky. In the real world, bodies of water take on the nature of the sky and are always slightly darker than the sky itself. It is perfectly okay to use artistic license to present the image in the way you wish. However, all the bright water vs. dark sky was unnatural to my eye, since there was no direct involvement of the sun. But, I may have lived in the mountains too long. Also, when viewing your scene, I "heard" the water splashing on the shore or boat, rendering it less than silent. Hope it's okay to offer this constructive criticism. Again, congratulations on your top score in this challenge.
