I'll admit, I find it a bit strange that a number of these entries have a sort of underwater feel to it, and I actually don't feel like it "quite" fits the theme. I kind of think more of the external features, the rocks, the plants in the first pic. And in the second one, it seems to be more of a blue light against the rocks rather than water. That's just to put my personal interpretation of the theme into my own words, having looked at it for a bit longer than the compo itself would allow.

Votes:

"Pond of Wishes" - I just love how the intro is handled so delicately and it builds to this gorgeous chunk of atmosphere. It sounds huge, remorseful and reflective. The first half really worked for me in terms of the theme. The second half is good, but felt like it could have benefitted from more low percussion. Still good though.

"Cenote" - I was trying to think of which piece related to me in terms of the second picture most, and for me, this was probably the closest it came to. It's the percussion that does it for me, and the little embellished continuum. It's almost marchlike, venturing into greater depths.

"Egufer retaw" - A simple, fluid, piece with good percussion that reminds me of water flowing into one large pool. My only real quip is that the section in the middle that had just the low drums could have benefitted from a little more percussion. It sounded almost empty without it.

johnfn: absolutely beautiful. A great job as usual, very emotive.
Now you just have to work on those transitions and you'll be done. =P

Yoshiblade: loved the mystical-watery-mayan vibe. Solid work.

aptbr: I really liked the harshness and the darkness. Could've been a longer entry, though.

(extra) Random-storykeeper: great chords and progressions, there's something very unique about your compositions. Keep it up!

deep caverns causeway - I love the SMK style instruments so much, sounds great

Cenote - The nature sound and the percussion really mix nicely together

Spelunk! (deeper dive) - Good buildup and it has a nice flowing feeling to it
