Perfect symmetry, the lilac color works even better. Great Reprise!

A very nice take on the original. Good details and color. I would like the flower a tab bit brighter.

Thank you for chosing my image, much appreciated :)
You did a very good job here, I'd say the image is easily recognizable for other viewers, too.
However, there is a difference (color of the flower aside): the surface seems to be a mirror, not a black material - the reflection is as clear as the original object and even the water (as opposed to my image) has a distinct reflection. Lighting is a bit less directional but more even.
Anyway, the best so far.

Well executed. The muted colors and slightly blurred background make the ship parts pop.

Beautiful pastel colors and a nice range of textures from the sky to the breaking waves to the receding water on the shore. Easy to look at :) Voted earlier.

Long exposure on the beach photos tend to do well and this will no doubt do so too, especially with the great composition and colour you've managed to get via your processing.
