Bridge study in B & W
by RUEDISCHMUTZ

Comment:
I fell in love this the moment I saw it! Magnificent B&W and the way the gradient flows across the sky is perfect! I think the thick border actually works really well and emphasizes the beams of the bridge! Well done on a well deserved ribbon! Added to faves!

Antelope Canyon Abstract

Lovely flow and form. A good capture but looks a little noisy to me. Not sure what ISO it was shot at. Please and have a look at the Tony Kuyper Website especially his tutorials as he mainly uses the Antelpoe Canyon shots in them.

Unmistakable who this is...
Again the processing and idea is practically flawless. From the fog / mist that is floating across the field of flowers to the bizarre hands (no ring this time I see!) to the tyre marks in the dirt road it is a masterpiece.
The only thing that does seem a bit odd is that we canĂ¢€™t see her right hand holding the handle bar - I know the angle probably blocks her arm and you probably chose this to match the equally weird thought process and end product. The cropping of the rear wheel does not bother me at all even though I did notice.

I assume you have been reading the links I sent you (and can be found on my Edward Weston photo comments).
Yes any time you use multiple exposures to get more dynamic range in an image it is HDR. Sadly most people only think HDR is when it is Tonemapped and ends up looking like that "Cartoon" like effect.
I know you used Topaz a bit here which is a form of tonemapping but you have kept it looking realistic and it is a nice shot. The only thing I would have done is sharpened it a bit more - it looks a little soft to me.

Would love to see more detail and to know how that tree is just hanging there... but I guess that is half the magic of this shot. Well spotted and hope it does well!

Could very well be prperold. If it is not you take it as a compliment. The processing is spot on, crystal clear and wonderful composition. Hope it does well.

Pity about the camera shake though
