He has long hair and is wearing a dress .. OK, a variant on the tale. And a VERY cool image with all the motion in the water.

I lost my balance when this popped up on the screen. Very nice composition. I wish the model were better separated from the rock . But that's just a nit pic. My choice for the yellow. Congrats.

A truly masterful shot - if this places anywhere below 4th place it will be under-rated. You have captured a sense of mystery and fearsomeness in this shot. I am amazed at how her hair and arms remain crisp with the slow shutter speed that has created the water effect. The movement in the water has the effect of sucking the viewer into the picture - pulling and drawing into itself, while she seems so delicate and fragile in contrast. Lovely, bold move to go B+W in an otherwise colourful, over-saturated challenge.
