I was attempting to create an image where if you looked at it long enough you could almost hear the image speak. Basic editing. Convert to B&W, crop, minor dodge & burn, sharpen and resized for challenge. Exif data included with this photo.

Critique Club Review:

Technical: Focus and depth of field are very good. Brightness and contrast are good as well. There are some highlights on the water, that are at the point of being blown out, but the size and shape of the areas still make it work for the image.

Reaction: I'm going to have to second Ivory on the background. The subject is the water. The background is so busy, it needs to be muted a bit to reduce the distraction. Though the longer exposure water thing has been done ever so many times before, and this may have hurt your score a bit, I still think an image should be judged separate from any other and stand or fall on its own. In this case I really like it. The contrast above and below rocks it what this picture is all about for me. A little longer exposure would have given the illusion of a bit calmer water above. However, my only real complaint is the busy background.

Overall this picture really works, and I think that your score should have been higher.

Lovely shine on the smooth water, I wish there was more contrast in the background, maybe some dodging and burning to bring out some of the highlights would have given this more impact.
