Nice idea, three different textures in one. I found the colors blended a bit too much in the flowers and the sky. Not sure what time of the day it was shot but early morning or late evening when the light is softer might have helped to give the flowers more punch and have them stand out better? The light just looks a little bit too hard.

Beautiful scene. Love the colors. Wish it was more sky and less rock though

The rocks in the foreground are out of focus.

I like this a lot; the reflections are good; I agree with singe about cropping out the top of the building...the color just appears a little flat.

Great reflections. I really like how the blue appears and reappears from the left to the right. Very well seen. I am somewhat ambivelant about the strong dark line at the top. It does break the pattern up a bit. It does however repeat in reflections behind it and it appears to have been unavoidable in this as is. Trouble with reflections is that they come and go depending on your angle. Also if shooting in a city, you're probably coming up against obstructions like other buildings that may impede your getting as much reflection in a shot as you can. You can only go so far back sometimes. I tried doing some distortion correction on this but after viewing it again, I like how the reflections fall into towards the middle.

This is really good. The only thing I don't like is the part of the reflective building coming out near the top. If that were cropped, this would be perfect.

Comment by Caltrop:
For this contest everyone who has the word �circle� in their title is getting a lower score. This is a copy and paste version that I am including in every photo that I downgrade due to the title. We as members of DPchallenge know the topic of the challenge � we do not need to reread the topic every time we reach a photo. If circle is in the title and it is appropriate I will most likely not down grade, but it better be good. I am sorry if you do not agree with my method of protest � but scores are all I have.

Comment by HawesPhotoKC:
Although there is a circle in the photo I don't feel that it is the dominant subject. You might consider changing up the lighting as well, the glare on the leaf is a bit distracting.
