The shapes so go with the textures. Either menacing or very calming. It made me think of many things, among them a new car yet to be designed that I would like to have if I hadn't just decided to walk or bus as much as possible. I'm sure this was your intent.

There's a line from Charles Trenets La Mer

Le Mer...Ses blancs moutons Avec les anges si purs

The Sea
With the summer skies confound
It's white sheep with angels so pure...

Though your image might be of a river or a stream...the line fits.

eta:I think his song might suggest high contrast and slightly elevated color, saturation levels with a little D&B and delicate vignetting.

This is infinitely better than my FS entry in every conceivable way but mine had a lollipop so it scored 6.45.

Could this have suffered from "poor voter monitor calibration syndrome"? I'm looking at it on a very crappy monitor at work and it is much darker than what I saw at home. To many voters, too dark = oops you made a mistake. And they go no further.

The photo really is wonderful. Mesmerizing motion and contrasting elements... I see Neptune, morphing into an angry sea-bird, about to devour the graffiti-like reflection.

You, especially, could pen a treatise debating the wisdom of entering photographic art into a contest designed to judge stock photography. This photo probably belongs in an art gallery. I don't understand why you, even briefly, considered the possibility it would be received/scored well at DPC.
