The slightly tilted horizon bothers me, but not the blown out bits. When the sun reflects off the water, it really IS that bright.

I love the silhouette - the angle and the pose are perfect!

What a lovely shot! Having those trees in the foreground really makes it.
And I am jealous... I am sitting here in the heat (high 90s F) and humidity, and it isn't even summer yet *sigh* Maybe I'll cool off if I keep looking at your lovely image :-)

It doesn't look all that messy, just busy.
I actually think it looks cozy, yet very useful.

I like it!

Did YOU have a quick clean-up, too, or is it always that tidy?

Nothing Gold Can Stay

My very first reaction was: "Whoa, that is over-processed!". On closer inspection, it was mostly the foreground grass on the left that caused that reaction.
I agree with Brent that it is too busy, without a real subject to "sink my teeth into".
You have some nice colors going, and very nearly (but not quite) a diagonal, something that usually works well in an image.

I think concentrating on a smaller part of the scene (like around the big rock in the center) would have worked better.

Aaawww, Frank, now I am disappointed. I was one of your 9s and had hoped for this pic to do quite well.
I am not normally fond of pimages that have NOTHING in focus, but given the challenge topic AND the subject, I loved it in this case! Great energy happening.

This is downright hypnotic! (which is a good thing, by the way :-)

I love the star bursts that result from smaller apertures, but you will get those long before a f/26, too.
