Hello once again.
While I respect the 'out of the box' interpretation of the challenge, I think that I probably would have voted this low as well, and it has nothing to do with the 'meaning' or for the theme of the challenge either.
What I find particularily distracting is the overall lack of focus. I've tried to find a spot that was sharp focus, and I cannot. I realize that you may have done this on purpose to make it like a 'dream', but I only think that works when the lighting is really 'soft' as well. Like a white light and soft focus. I don't think it works well in this case.
The angle and framing/cropping are ok. I might have liked to see the start of this little waterfall. Maybe show us the top?
The lighting seems like it was a bit dark. The colors of this shot seem muted to me.
I really think that anything and everything could have fit into this challenge, so your interpretation is as good as any in my opinion.
I think that this possibly would have done much better with just a bit more focus. Even with the 'dream' theme, sharper focus would still have worked.

| So the 180 of us who voted it 5 or lower were too uncreative to see the brilliance of this photo? Yeah, that's the ticket! |

So sad to see the scores on this now and to realize that there was a definate lack of creativity in the voters. Directly from the movie the line is "Matrix a computerized dream."
That is exactly what I did, I took a photo of a waterfall which is part of my dream of a very relaxing place and I edited using a computer thus creating a computerized dream...sad that no one could think past the idea of the movie itself. |

| Took me a moment to understand what you are saying is this is your computerized dream. Nice and relaxing photo. |

| The photo, whilst being quite nice, doesn't really tie in to the movie. I would have liked to see a more easily associated image, rather than trying to make an image fit the challenge. |

| Not quite sure on the significance, but would be a much better photo if more in focus (around the middle falls area). With the rain coming down on the water, had alot more "texture" to it |
