Comment by GolferDDS:
Beautiful picture. I like it in B & W. I don't get the feeling of silence here. It makes me imagine the sound of the rushing water. Its so nice though I can't resist giving it a good score even thought it doesn't necessarily satisfy the theme. Too bad you couldn't have entered this one in another contest it deserves a 9 or 10.

Fire?
Nice pic but what has it got to do with fire?

Good shot but what does it have to do with fire? I am sure you have been asked this about 100 times by now.

Nice use of foreground rocks to partially frame image. I like the luminescent quality of the white water. I do find the sky very bland and, although it would change the proportions of the image, I personally prefer less of that sky/ bare tree line included. 7

Very nice picture... Where is the fire? If it's there then get back to me and point it out. Your vote from me can only go up from here. This looks as if it may be similar to the work that Andy Wightman did in The 4 Elements challenge recently, yet the flame there was much more visible.

I didn't get a chance to vote in this challenge, but if I had, I would have given you an "F"...only 1 point. It really ticks me off when people such as yourself feel you have to enter a photo that has nothing to do with the challenge, just because it is an excellent photo. Bye the way, in another appropriate challenge I'm sure I would have given this a 10. I see you have many ribbons and I am sure they were well deserved, but I think that has gone to your head and you are acting like a pompous ass!
