6 - Nice. Criticism; attention to minor aspects like the gold print on the pencils, a slightly different crop and/or angle, to allow the 'beginning' and the 'end' to fade in and out in 'synch' (the bottom right has some space in front of it which if similar to the top left would 'flow' better) and perhaps trying to attain more 'shallow DOF'/blur at beginning and end, would have likely made this even better in my opinion. Not sure on the base, 'works', but it seems to be competing with the colors/pencils too much. Also just noticed some shadow play so perhaps incorporating that may have given this an extra element as well.

Pencils, books, and money seem to be a DOF theme...

Very creative! Nicely done. I would have liked a little shallower DOF, but this is definitely cool!

I know, I'm probably not the first to comment this... but that Challenge is over... lol.

Lighting and exposure are good here, but the composition lacks a little. Perhaps less water or more water... move the mountains out of the center of the pic.

I like this picture but I think it would have looked better horizontally so I can only give you a 9.

Water seems OOF. I'm sure you could have made more of the silhouetted background, either by zooming out or in. At the moment, I don't feel that the composition makes the most of them. Some PS work with curves could really bring out the colours in this shot.
