 Yes, a very big stretch. The shot I thought I'd submit didn't work out. I even played with an english to french dictionary (the best I could come up with was d'apres petit cadavre or according to little corpses" ) to try and find something that fit -- spent more time on the title than the shot and edit. In the end, I went with a myster theme in english. I expect to get a lot of dmc. Three dead holly leaves on my driveway.

Cropped, adjusted levels and saturation, applied a paint-brush filter, applied a blur and used the history brush to paint back in the leaves.

the shadows on the leaves don't really work for me. overall I don't think the image conveys the title.

Beautiful image, and your title hints at the depths below this luminescent surface, though your image deserves a more poetic movie title. Still, it works nicely. Well done.

good title, but I can't see how the image relates. The water (I'm assuming it's water) is so smooth it looks like glass or plastic. However, really nice colors, and a 6 from me.

what I am looking for in this challenge is for a creative 'wow' shot that would go on a movie poster. I think that's what the challenge is all about...I like this. I think the quotation marks could have been dropped and it would have been more impactful. It seems like you are drawing attention to the drowning pool to make sure we notice it. without the quotation marks, CTIMES would have stood out more...now I know this is not a title challenge, but a clever title was part of the challenge in this case...great shot btw 7
