Very interesting effect.. did you add a white layer to achieve the faded look or was that from the water?

It's encouraging to see a photo with this much substance almost break a 5.0. When I watch hens and roosters doing their chicken thing it can be disheartening when I realize there are maybe two or three degrees that separate myself from them.

*not voting as I'm in this challenge-just commenting since I've seen requests for comments in the challenge thread*

This has some very nice colors and I dig the tilt but I think the sharpening is just too harsh and the blownout areas of the ground drag my eye away from the real focus which should be the trees IMO. the sky is a beautiful shade though and I do like the border as well.

It seems a bit over saturated.

Fun shot...and brave of you! It took me a minute but I finally did make out the rooster. Love the colors.

Damn. This really is quite ominous. Cover of a Peter Straub or Stephen King novel, perhaps? No, it's even eviler (eviler?) than that...

Here is another one that I missed commenting on. No clue how it related to challenge but really enjoyed the photo.

I took a look at the Nine challenge, ended up not voting on it, because I only found a couple that held my interest more than a second - and one of them was this one. Had a strong suspicion it was you.

Unique, as always.

No clue what it has to do with the challenge but this is heartbreakingly beautiful and very tender. No disrespect to that wonderful guy you live with, but my dear, you are quite the artist. (He's not bad, but I think you have the edge in some respects.)
