Greetings from the Critique Club
Initial thoughts/My opinion
Colourful image speaking of flowing shape, lines and a strong blue. Initially I didn't get the title.
Content/Composition
A very tranquilling, aesthetic picture that is very well composed: having the grass on the lower right with showing some of their reflections is well considered. Beside this main-focal-point the wonderfully flowing lines of the water with its smooth surface work very well. And the contrast between the blue and green is very good too.
So regarding the composition everything is just right.
Camera work -technically
Focus, exposure and white balance are all set right as far as I can see.
Digital Processing - Technical
It seems that we look at a small crop out of the original that is oversharpened: the water is somewhat grainy. The colour saturation is also a bit too strong for my taste.
Fits the challenge
I do see an issue here: even with the title I can not see it too well in NG. While the topic "pollen" is of course well suited for NG, I and probably other don't see this topic in the image. This is of course do to my lack of detailed knowledge about pollen.
Good luck for your upcoming submissions

IMHO this looks over sharpened and perhaps a touch over saturated.

Very nice colours here, reminds me of a slight wash of oil in the water?? I like the different colours of the reeds. |

Don't mention editting done in title. Nice composition and colors. Not sure I understand "pollen on the move". |

Beautiful coors. Some people might say it looks unnatural but you auto-level adjustment certainly enhances the quality of your pic. Congratulations. |
