Comment by FranziskaLang:
challenge met. i love streams and moss-covered rocks, i also like that you included enough of them (for my taste), especially in comparison to some other entries this week. the focus on the rocks and the moss is good, i see the water is almost blurred. this is one of those few occasions where i'd like to see the exposure times, etc, i wonder if it was possible for you to use a longer shutterspeed and really blur the water (especially the foam on it) w/out blowing the whole picture out. this is still good, though.

This is a very sweet image, but the jpeg artifacts lessen the quality of the shot. Good color. 7 Swash

Overall a nice shot... I may have been tempted to leave the exposure open a bit more to try to capture a more "silky" feel to the water.

Very nice color on the rocks and leaves. The lichen on the rocks seems like it could have been a bit more focused. DPz

Look at the moss on those rocks! Beautifully sharp and clear. Nice job.

Nice capture! My only problem with this one is that the picture itself doesn't immediately shout "occupation", but put it together with the title and it works. 7

I love the angle of this. It\'s like when viewing it...the viewer is standing in the water. VERY nice ! Shiiizzzam

Nice concept/occupation, but the pictures isn't very good. :( It's out of focus and maybe under-exposed, not sure.

Good idea, and nice job of not having signs of man. However I don't think this photo is extremely visually appealing, and there is no real point that I can tell to look at. I don't care for the composition and I think this photo could have been done better. I maybe would have approched this photo from a different angle. You met the challenge, but I don't care for the photo. -4
