very nice shot! it is definitely a keeper. I am surpirsed it didn't place higher. People here want to see the actual event, they don't understand that you wanted an off shot... oh well :(
I enjoy it!

Very amusing shot and a good interpretation of the topic. Colors and focus aren't the best, but I'll mark it up for originality anyway.

I like this one. My main complaint is that there is very little at the focal point of the picture, and quite a lot of water...but I suppose that was the point. Very good feeling of movement from the water drops.

Ha, this is a wonderful capture! You're turning the tables on the challenge, I guess, implying that the photographer is out of place (or time). Anyway, I like this very much.

This one made me laugh. I think I have been there too many times trying to photograph my kids.

Its comic and a great capture. The water-effect is great. Think its maybe litle overexposed. More colorsaturation and/or contrast wouldnt have hurt and also I think you should have used more USM. But its good image.

This appeals to me... shame you've lost so much detail in the water due to overexposure.

Not being a photographer, I like this shot and especially the water coming off the bird's feet and I also like the overall colors.
