Boxspring from a bed? I like the mixture of lines and curves here. Good eye to have seen this one!

Nice snag, looks like old box springs. Good eye, who woulda thought it would make such an interesting abstract!

Mushroom Surrounded by Fungi

hm, this got a much lower score than I thought it would (I gave this a 6). I think this image would have been helped by cropping a bit off the top (feels a bit too empty, even for this challenge) and sharpening the image a bit. a bit of dodge&burn to bring out the highlights/shadows on the big fungus might have also helped give this some pop.

First impressions: Water has a nice silky feel without really blowing out any of it.

Composition: The position of the rocks and the tree on the left are the strongest parts of the composition. Though there is one branch from the left and a sapling on the right of the frame that are a bit distracting since they are blocking the view to the water.

Exposure: This looks like a tough lighting situation. I think the silky feel of the water is what you were going for so in that regard the exposure seems right with only a couple of spots that look blown out. However other parts of the image seem underexposed.

Post processing may help bring out detail in the shadows a bit more.

Impact: Some impact is present from the feel of the water. For more impact, framing the water a bit better with the trees and bringing out more detail in the shadows I think would help.

Creating these kinds of effects in running water is always fun. Keep experimenting and have fun.
