I'm surprised this did so badly - looks like a very common impressionistic subject matter, treated in a beautiful way. Mind you - I'm surprised my shot is right next to this too :)
I'm surprised at the score; I voted this a 6. I thought it was clear what we were looking at, and that you reduced the objects to an impression of them.
Interesting...but, my feeling about impressionism, is you are able to recognize the subject...it just has a lot of texture and brush strokes. I would liked to have seen the face.
When I scroll the screen to crop off the top enough to exclude everything above the initial expanse of water, I find it easier relax and enjoy the impression of a child and a red ball at the shore.
OOF!!! (That's a joke by the way!!!!!!) Possibly a touch to heavy on the blur but still conveys the feeling without being too reliant on the exact nature of the subject which is what impressionism is all about
