HI Janine - welcome back to the Critique Zone!
This is definitely a DPC crowd pleaser and a perfect fit for the challenge. I don't think my old laptop screen does it justice to be honest. I need to be on a shiny iPad or something!
Technically, there isn't a thing I would change about this. The sharpness is great, the DOF as good as it can be and the lighting is definitely what sets this apart from the average. Artistically there isn't much to call either. I agree with the comment about balancing this vertically in the frame - it is such a geometric shot that the bigger gap at the top really stands out. Picky, I know... The negative space, on the other hand, is critically important so I don't think that a tighter crop would be a good idea. I'd be interested to see it positioned on the right third rather than the left third but reserve the right to decide that you were right after all!
This is definitely you on form - congratulations!
Happy hunting,
Frank. |

| Good example but I would have preferred a crop that drew attention more the the static object that it is. 6 |

I like the light and the colors. The image looks a bit flat and the main object somewhat disassociated from its reflection. Maybe this is due to that the sea shell looks quite sharp while the reflection does not. Wonder how the original image looks like.
I think I would have prefer a more central composition in the vertical direction. |

| 7 from me. I love the black background. Not sure it wouldn't be even better without the reflection... so it was more stark. |
