As a creative photo, you did well. As a scrabble player, you missed double word score? Sheesh!

Interesting and funny how the subject placement and angle create a feeling that this isn't square crop at all (it is, I know). Nice work!

I thought, at first, that this must be from a 'Blue' challenge, and got left over. An odd photograph, for an odd challenge. I'm sure you can see for yourself why it got voted down the way it did - the weird tonality, the punter's version of odd being different from yours (and mine, as it happens).

I kind of like the image though, somehow. Despite a bunch of stuff that ought not to work really - the mid-point horizon, a slight lack of real fine detail (as in may of your submitted images - enough to make me think it's more of style choice than an accident), and a certain vacancy about it all. Of course there's an implication of 'where's the fisherman?', but that adds a simplicity to it that might simply have been ordinary otherwise. I'd be interested to know your thinking around this one.
