Would love to have this with a little more context....perhaps a glimpse of the game in progress in the background. As is, this doesn't tell much of a story. Good focus though.

i'd like to see this in b&w...in this photo, the greens aren't all that flattering and the colours are fairly dull, but the lines and texture could have been the focus in a monotone version. i also would have cropped the top right where that branch bends back down. overall, i think i would have cropped a little tighter on the left and right as well. it really does look like a beautiful spot!

You didn't do too bad a job of trying, though. Nice work :) It's always hard to get the exposure right for these because there's always a risk of blowing out the highlights at the back of the shot, I've tried this sort of thing before. I think you've done well here!

7 and good luck!

meets the challenge but looks over-exposed in the whites; and I see artifacts in the reds

It does look tranquil :-) Good composition and an interesting shot. Don't know what you have for editing software, but if you're in PhotoShop, try playing with the Levels and the Color Balance. Maybe adjusting some things in there will make you feel like the picture pops more. I kinda like it the way it is though :-)

I don't feel that the image conveys instantly recognizable decision. Good try, nice pic.

Challenge: 7 Just not making me feel "ahh what a beautiful place"
Composition: 7 I wish you would have included more of the small water fall
Technical: 7 Using the small water fall you could have done a timed shot showing motion better in the waterfall.
Creativity: 6 Admire the effort in using a shot like this for the challenge.
Overall: 5

2 or 10? Any real card player knows this isn't even a decision. Keep the 10! :)
