Comment by cojato:
The composition of this piece is great. I think it would have been even better if it were less grainy and more vivid in color.

Nice photo, I like the subject. However there is quite a bit of noise.

The lighting washes the image too much

This picture fails to meet the criteria of the challenge. Discarded booze bottles and fishing tackle are not uncommon sights in a pond, unfortunately. As an image outside the theme of serendipity it so-so. Once again, it doesn't make much of a surprising statement--i.e., it says nothing new about pollution. It lacks detail in the darker values and the contrast between the red and the muddier colors could be much stronger.

Good idea... Some folk's idea of serendipity differs from others. :) Needs a little more contrast.

Sorry, I don't see how it meets the challenge. Maybe you happened to be somewhere and you got this shot, but if that's the challenge criterion, couldn't ANY picture meet the challenge?

Comment by RonB:
Technically I find the photo to be rather flat and cropped ( or framed ) too tightly. Some color saturation adjustments might help.

But... isn't that a bad thing? Liquor is always better when the bottle is full!
