Drink the Water. Drink it Down.

I had a hard time getting this image ... the color on the water is too silver after the BW conversion, lending a strange overall appearance to the photo, and no strong point of interest to grab my attention. 4

Earth - Air - Fire - Water

GREAT idea! Actually, I shot this same thing (4 elements in 4 glasses) but didn't enter it because I wasn't happy with the result, so I know how difficult this shot was to set up. The glasses in this composition are just ordinary wine glasses, and I think that brings the image down and prevents it from popping. The flame and the earth are both kind of blurred by the glass as well. The water is my favorite ... nicely lit and well exposed. All in all I ended up giving you a 5 -- some good things, some could be improved, and an average result.

On The Rocks

Comment:
Nice scene, but lacks visual interest. A bird or person on that rock jutting into the water would make this really pop. 5

Three Elements and an Illusion of the Fourth.

Nice reflections on the water, though I would have liked to see the horizon line on the top third rather than in the middle. Not the strongest connection to the challenge topic, but technically within the subject. 5

Cool...

Difficult to distinguish between the water and the glass with the processing you've used here. Nice BW conversion with deep rich black tones

At Water's Edge

I love the reflection in the water, and would have liked to have seen the frame move down a bit to capture the whole reflection and less of the empty space at the top.

Earth home to everyone

nice idea, but i would have liked this better with only one branch -- the two crossing branches are distracting, and the focus is a bit soft on the caterpillar. 5

Earthen Path

Comment:
Nice BW conversion, but no strong subject for the image. The flowers on the sides of the path are too jumbled together to provide a clear subject to look at, but because there's so much going on there it distracts the eye from your main subject

Nice idea, but focus is a little soft.

Water Droplets

Nice shot, love the colors and tones but the droplets are kind of lost against the yellow background. 6
