Comment by Yo_Spiff:
Awesome shot, but not seeing much in the way of reflections in that moving water. Reflections are not the subject, or even a major element. However, having a visually strong entry is more important to one's score than fitting everyone's interpretation of the challenge. I'm sure it will place highly, but I'm going to have to call this DNMC, in spite of what a great shot it is.

A really cool shot, but not particularly strong in meeting the challenge. There's not a whole lot to see in terms of reflections here. Had this been a free study, I'd probably give it an 8, but for a reflections challenge, it's only a 5.

I like how the line from the tide extends outwards from the cross, pulling my eyes across the scene.

Gorgeous capture. The shutter speed is perfect--pretty sharp, but just slow enough to get some movement from the wave, which reinforces the title and the message. Very well done.

Sad, lonely, and a perfect example of a memorial by the ocean. I like it a lot.
