Reflecting on the walk of life

You just needed a 1,2 and 10 for the perfect set of scores. I gave it a 9 so I was helping here.

Seriously though, most of the reflections did not fare well on this challenge. My interpretation is usually super strict on sticking to the challenge topics, but I felt that a body of water with a reflection is a good looking body of water. Seems simple to me.

I rarely give out 10s and I was your ten here. Simply gorgeous image with a great composition. Only having a small amount of the top and the rest reflection is perfect. This would not be out of place in a fancy gallery in this city. Not sure why this placed so low (4 folks gave you 4's even). Perhaps the voters were looking for more "plain" water than "reflection" water and felt the building was the subject rather than the water.

Great idea to flip the image. All the greenery and just a bit of spot colors really makes this one pop. Wish there was a little bit more head room on the bottom of the image.

Really love the silhouette of the lady. Did you have a longer lens to try some images with her against the water? Alternately you could crop of the top half for a square composition and see how you like that.

I like this image a lot. The bird on the rusted railing is great. As is the treeline and sky, The water is mostly kind of plain/bland especially for a water challenge.

Great arcing line of the deep colored blue water. I like the greenery that frames the water. Perhaps crop off the top third into a panel to emphasize the river more.

This is a great angle with the lighthouse in the lower left. Seen thousands of images of Portland Head Light and this is pretty unique and well captured. Your horizon might e a tad off.

Interesting voting on this one. In a wildlife challenge, the 3's and 4's make sense. For a Grey challenge, I thought the mist/fog really gave the image an interesting mood/vibe. 6 from me. Go Team ISO-lation.

Wow. On a quick glance, I was checking for a mirror. Great capture. Nice and sharp with a nice muted background. Perhaps crop off some of the top and right to show off the birds more.

Great moment captured here. Nice composition with the head/beak centered in the frame. The razor thin DOF, heat haze, or subject movement here makes the sharpness a tad off.
