nice idea, but the water spray seems to be more of a distraction than anything else. there's no context that visually explains it, and, as is, leaves me thinking the image would be better off without it.

This is a nice snapshot but I'd like to see more punch throught the use of colors or lighting or something.

This is some construction! Well photographed and a good sky in the background. The upper corners are dark but the overall look is good.

Fantastic, although I am not usually inclined to likeing center compositions, I think this however works really well.

greetings from the critique club!

i really like the concept of this shot overall. the fire and water are both very zen, and it was a good idea to try to incorporate them both.

the colors are great, and the ripples were captured well. i think the biggest downfall of this shot is that the candle it out of focus. focus is the most important thing i look for in a shot -- no focus = bad score, no matter how cool the image "could" be. in the future, you could try to affix the candle in place with a toothpick or something to keep it in place while the water moves.

a little bit more diffuse light on the lighting of the scene would help soften everything more as well, and make it more "zen" like.

overall a good idea. with a bit more elbow grease it could be a wonderful composition.

A touch of vignetteing in the top corner may hurt for a better score.
