Life & Deathby

Hello Coleman, Iâm Alan.
You garnered a 8 in my voting on this challenge, not many received over a 6. Could it have been a 10, unable to test theories, my minds eye says yes.
A bit of noise reduction would have mellowed out the gritty feel, and softened the edges.
Selective saturation leaving color on only the vase and forward shadow, not only would help the âlife flowerâ but add texture.
When I first looked at the image it seemed to me the vase was ½ submerged in a swift, smooth surfaced flow of water left to right, I think a bit of dodge and burn might have enhanced that to bring in a bit more depth.
Still yet a 8 is not easy from me, and in this challenge difficult, so as is very good work..
If you have any questions on my insights please feel free to PM me.
Alan.
