Without knowing more of the pool layout, I would have scored this higher had you taken the shot from the center lane or perhaps cropped it in a way so that we see only the water and lines. The left side of the pool edge and what is beyond the pool at the end is distracting from an otherwise nice picture.

Inviting image, reasonable framing. OE however.

The badly blown highlights in the sky and pillars really detracts from this shot. A lower perspective might have also added some additional drama to the shot. Generally, shooting from a normal standing height makes photos less-interesting because it's what we always see.

Foreground is more interesting than what's through the gates.

Very good composition. I like the open gate and the peek into the statue. It is pretty blown out and over exposed though. I don't know if you used manual or automatic settings but I would try increasing the shutter speed to allow less light to pass through to the sensor. Possibly try framing the shot so the columns fill the left and right border to the top getting rid of the white sky. All in all a very creative shot!

Nice big one, for sure. Not sure I could manage one that big with a little bubble wand. Photo is an average snapshot, I'm afraid. Grainy and soft. Also, the harsh midday sun causes overly bright highlights.

Not sure what to suggest, but I don't think there is much that could to be done to help this shot. Best thing might be to reshoot it in better light. Sorry to be so harsh, but I feel I can't leave a lowball vote without also leaving an explanation.

Cool awkward shaped bubble, but the background lets this pic down

Nice bubble, but a lot of distracting points. You look at the bubble and immediately the eye is drawn towards the lockers in the back and the other surrounding elements. And a bit sharper maybe?
