Congrats on the dubious achievement! I think. No place to go but up, right? I'm rather proud of my own brownie.

I REALLY like this. Great sense of speed and movement combined with a lovely colour palette.

Not totally sure what it is with this entry, maybe a combination of factors, but I think this is the kind of shot that encourages many to just hit the 4 or 5 key and press on. I'll try and identify some of what may not be working and hope it's helpful for you.

-Looks like a strong overhead sun. Midday sun is usually the least flattering light.
-There may be some oversharpening going on, the detail in the foliage seems pixelated to me.
-Using less compression may have also helped. The 163k file size is just over half the allowed file size and this is a very detailed scene. You may have lost some clarity due to compression and I can see some blocky compression artifacts in the water spray in the center.
-The water from the fountain seems grayish in color and not terribly dramatic looking or interesting. I wonder if you may have been trying to pull in some detail using highlight recovery.

I'm not sure what you were going for, but what you got was quite nice.

It's a super abstract with a bright and beautiful and glowing American Flag.
