Hello!
here you have my choice...
Many good shots and I will explain why I have chosen it in my ranking.

HONORABLE MENTIONS :

I like the line the water cut in the picture; the composition of the image is well balanced


The light is a little flat and the trees in the foreground drive away the attention from the waterfall, but that's a nice "running water" picture.


Although the water is not the main subject, this is an impressive shot done with a great control and technique


I love the way the water becomes an abstract here.

Now it's tough...
THIRD PLACE:
I place two pictures at the 3rd place


I love everything in this image and for some time it was my winner choice... I changed my mind because I cannot decide if the main subject is the water or the two guys.
Anyway a picture I would like to take!


As I wrote for the previous picture, again this one is impressive; unfortunately, in my opinion, the water is not the main subject.

SECOND PLACE:
Again two pictures very similar.


Gorgeous place and great composition in this one!


Technically one of the best picture in the contest (as well the other one posted by Szczepan). I love the over saturated colors and the composition.
Really an eye catcher.

WINNER:

I was mesmerized by this picture... The light, the long exposure makes it a strangely fascinating image: it is simple, but at the same time strong.
Technically not the best one, but anyway I love it!

Congrats to all winners and HMs.
A great competition and selection of winners. Thank you to all participants.

Thank you for the 2nd place, and for hosting an excellent topic.

I appreciate and learn from judges' critical remarks, and wish more judges would include them.

Nice images and like the critiques, as a good way to learn.

Congratulations to winners and HMs - super topic - and I agree it's great to hear comments from whoever is judging.

Wow!! Thank you for the first place! Congrats to all the winners and HMs.

This is the first time I have won the S&T, so please bear with me while I figure this out. Will post the next series shortly.

Thanks,
