Sigh...

Sigh...I just came across this from your profile page and realized I never got to see it or vote on it because I was travelling all that week. I'm sorry because I really like both the idea and the way you carried it out, and would have boosted your score at least a teensy bit...

Your explanations/analyses are great...I'm curious how you use curves to manipulate color, as that's almost all I use and am always looking for new tricks or effects.

I like the silhouette effect but think you needed less sharpening.

I like the way the colors "fit" the subject

I think I would have cropped more off the top and have as little of the windows as possible -- maybe cut that tiny bit of railing off the bottom too

The darker flecks expecially look over-sharpened to me -- especially affects the edges of the small vertical fry on the right.

I think I'd try and avoid the blinds to enhance the issusion that it the ground and not a bedspread.

Don't know if the hand/cup are necessary, but they do draw the eye to the main subject

I'd like the seeds to be sharper; maybe sneaking a little soft light in from this side would help. I like the idea overall -- this would have been excellent last week!

Maybe that's what those WWF refs need: a stool and dunce cap for when they break the "rules." Might also have more "punch" with a tighter crop on the left, right, and top (maybe go with the narrow aspect ratio).
