The sound of the water crashing on the concrete made me think of live music. (my first entry, not sure how abstract I can be)

Thanks a lot for your comments. My thoughts exactly. See how I go in the next one.

hehehe. So we ended up side by side. Well, at least I know i'm with good company! :-)
With this being your first challenge just don't let the votes get to you. They mean nothing.
this is a nice shot, some things you can learn from and others you can simply enjoy.
I like your creativity and open mind.
thanks for your comments as well as for your photo.

Under any other normal conditions, I would probably vote a 6 on this image, and go on voting.
It's a really nice photo, just not the "wow" kind.
The hot area on the right is too distracting, something in the background gives a busy feeling to this, and I can not concentrate on the water properly.
Above average photo, but not much more then that.
However, under this specific challenge, I think you have chosen a beautiful shot.
It is out of the box, it is creative and thoughtful.
Personally, I appreciate those qualities in a photo a lot more then perfect technicalities.
and I hear the music.

For that - I vote a 10 on this one.

Good luck in the challenge. I have a strange feeling that we are going to end this challenge side by side ;-)


Thanks for your in depth comments. This was my first challenge so I wasn't too sure what to expect. You were right though, I believe we finished next to each other way down the list.
Cheers
Shane.

I get it even though I think it is a bit of a stretch for this challenge theme. Really nice photo, probably would be a decent seller.

Without a soundtrack it's just a fountain - a very nice shot of a fountain, but still a fountain.

Not hitting me as llive music. The lighting feels very harsh and the background is distacting.

I am assuming these are synchronized to music. Captured as bars of a graphic equalizer would be nice, wouldn't it?
I may even be missing the whole point. :)

While I think this is an absolutely beautiful picture (and I especially love the way the water droplets were captured in mid air), I'm not sure it's what they were looking for with the "live music" theme.

beautiful image, absolutely. lovely composition, and i don't mind the blowouts that much. however, i can't imagine this scoring well, given how out-of-the-box it is. if you aren't happy with your score you might want to check out this thread.

you're gonna get punished for this, but not by me. i like the silhouette useage, and the slightly monochromatic toning. quite moody, I'd say. 7
