I like very much the frame and the point of view but, for me, the tones are a little too washed out.

Border is a bit too big for my taste, but I wont let that detract from my vote because this is an awsome photo - 10 Just clone out the line and sell this one as a print...

I originally said it didn't meet the challenge, I was wrong. I misunderstood the rules - sorry.

This is a great pic, but not much of an album cover.... especially with no text

Very good shot...perpective/angle is very pleasing.
Shutter speed is good. Focus is good.

I'd have liked to see you take a bigger chance with this one. Seems like a bit too safe on the subject matter. Certainly a great photo, though.

lovely composition but I wonder if using cascaders instead on cascades would be more to the pont of the challenge?

This one doesn't work too well for me as a name or album cover. It seems like the band name was shoehorned to fit a photo that was taken during the time frame. You were probably unaware until entering, that text could be added for this one. That probably would have helped convince me this was an album cover. I almost missed that too, but I had a couple of hours left to work on it. I sympathise because this is probably hurting you in the scores.

The photo is quite nice. The composition is great and the blurring water is very effective. It's all over a bit contrasty, especially the rocks on the right side of the frame. The middle values are a bit dark and there is very little detail in the shadow areas. This is a shot that could be heightened dramatically with some highlight dodging.
