This is tough. The first thing is that we've (or I've) seen this type of image many times so it would take something extra special about it to make it stand out and have "impact". The second is that it lacks visual tension to hold me in the image. I follow the squiggles of reflection from the top and then go out the image at the bottom and don't get pulled back in. I actually think that flipping the image would take care of both "nits" and also create an abstract tree from the reflection. Try it out and see what you think.

This does well on relevance for me, and initially didn't have quite the impact, but the longer I'm staring at it the more I like it. A good example of letting something work it's magic.

dcreighton, you make several really good points. i have to agree.

I'm not all for water surface pictures, but this one got me quite deeply. A 100% relevant, could be an abstract painting, well taken... Congrats!
