Lovely shot - well placed considering the competition and deservedly so. A slightly longer DOF would have enabled clarity of the foremost rocks too.

Wow - I really "feel" the wetness and the smoothness of those pebbles.

It's a beautiful photograph.. I would like to learn how you post-processed this one. The polished rocks are sharp until I look closely at them... This photograph very much resembles the qualities of a painting to me. Excellently done. 9

oh how superb! Always like the running water shots - but this is one of the best. Like the cold blue cast oever everything - my first 10!

Intresting shot...like the smooth looking texture given off by the rock and water.

This lovely scene of well worn rocks (with their own waary texture) and the nice soft water make for a muted but pleasant composition. Nicely done.

If the brown stone wasn't there I'd like this picture, I'm glad it is as it really adds to the scene, lovely shot. Not exactly a technical comment but this picture sends my mind driffting, rather than see the textures I can feel them.

Pretty, maybe a little more water and a little less rocks on the bottom. Hope you do well in the challenge.

I just love the smoothness, tones and composition of this piece. This is more of photography as an art and is my favorite so far.

good focus and composition...

Like the idea, as suggested by your title, of a created texture - the look of that blurred water, as opposed to the reality of it. Combines well with the hard stoniness you've captured in the stones. Has a magic, fantasy landscape feel. Would like a touch more depth to it, maybe - something to hold the eye, which is lacking here - you let the gaze wander out of frame too easily with this.

Wow - definitely a difficult shot to pull off - I would have like to have seen the rocks of the foreground to be more in focus and the colors of the rocks to be more vivid.....7

That is gorgeous. I like the contrast between the smoothness of the water, and the "bumpiness" of the rocks.
