 This is the Pool of Reflections - part of the River Cave at Jenolan, NSW. The reflection in the water is actually the roof of the cave above. The water in the centre of the photo is about 2 metres deep. The floor of the river where the darker water is in the foreground drops away to a depth of about 18 metres.

Wow. I really thought this would do better. Apparently I'm the only one that gave a 10. And I only gave two of them in this challenge. One was the guy that got the blue and the other was you. My shot even ended up higher placed than this one. I'm just really shocked it was way higher in the challenge than it was.

I spent time in a local cave trying to get a decent shot....I failed miserably, so I'm giving you a 9 at least half for that reason alone. That you were able to find ancd capture this makes me jealous beyond reason......8>) VERY well done! I like this immensely.

This looks like an interesting place, but it isn't as visually appealing as I wish it was. Since it is advanced editing you might have tried putting a really blue white balance on it to see if you could make the water pop out; it also strikes me that it might be lighter than the real cavern would be...I think it would be better if it were darker.

it's a bit irritating that the reflection & center of the image is not in focus. otherwise good shot, nice colors!

I like the tones and abstract shapes. My only critique would be that slight overexposure. But I like how the image jumps in and out of reflections.
