 I just have to be in a challenge in which the comments "blurry," "chaotic," and "disorganized" will be considered good comments. :)

Doubt I have achieved engaging...maybe interesting, though?

Taken on one of those semi-foggy days when the trees were heavy with wet and dripped into the river. I like trying to make melancholy pictures...

There is something very lovely and engaging about reflections in puddles. You've captured the foggy morning feel, thrown in with a little early morning wonder. Lovely capture, even if not for the masses.

Very simple and very calm. I like the feel of it.

Fantastic texture in this. Is this intentionally a duotone?

this is a different way to get a blurry effect.

I'm not sure that this photo really captures the essence of the challenge.

You may not be scoring well if people are considering the water as the subject vice the trees which are blurred in the reflection.

This looks cool and could have worked very well for this challenge if the focus hadn't been so prestine. It's much too sharp as is for a blur challenge.
