Biblical Revelation or personal I'm not sure but the foot will drop eventually. I like the peace you've achevied with this wonderful photo. The single drop rippling into tome next to the powerfully rooted trunk are a nice contrast. Your personal focus is strong here told by the composition which says to me...there are only these two things.

This is a beautiful image - I'm quite taken by it. I love the grays, the ripples, the solitary nature of the tree as it stands guard day in and day out. Well seen, well photographed.

I kind of agree about the tree seeming at odds somewhat, but I also see Kelli's perspective about the tree crying, though I wouldn't have seen that myself. I do like the B&W conversion as it works well with the lighting. All in all not a bad image at all IMO. I'm always a sucker for ripples & reflections.

This is quite sad. It makes me think the tree is crying. This could account for the unstellar score, as people seem to like shiny, happy pictures. LOL! But, it's quite lovely and you should be proud of it.

I like this a lot but think the tree seems a bit out of place and spoils the delicate nature of the ripples a little. I also feel a little detched from the surface of the lake and wonder if you might have taken this from a lower perspective. But a great shot - well done for having the guts to put it in a free study.

I think this is an absolute lovely image, an amazing capture! I love how it's understated, and how the composition draws your eyes to the ripple. The wobbly reflections work well, however I'd be interested to see it down with a little more light/detail in the tree :)

This has a quiet beauty to it - one of my 10s for this challenge.

I like the ripples and how the tree is almost subsumed by the water.

The lighting in the water is a little harsh.
