I love that you took something often photographed and made it really unique and compelling. The lighting in the water is mesmurizing (sp?). This image is perfect in so many ways and is a feast for the eyes. 10

You have a great eye for a great shot. The colours in this are brilliant to say the least. The saturation levels are pitch perfect. I love the way the subject just pops off the screen as though it's in 3D. The time of day/lighting is perfect for brining out the subject. Well done! 9

The colours are very soft in this and it almost looks like the image is out of focus. I fyou have photo shop, you may want to try increasing saturation levels and using the "sharp" or "unsharp" mask tool to make the image pop. Another suggestion - this is a beautiful scenic. However, sometimes adding something just to the right or left of the foreground (a tree, a flower, something like that) can really bring the viewer's eye in - the eye looks at an image in almost a circular way - starting with the main subject (something in the foreground) and then moves out to the rest of the scene. Employing this technique may bring your results up in future challenges. I think what you've tried here is very nice though.

I really like the lighting in this. I also love the way you've composed it into something original and unique. I like the way you've used rule of thirds here. I also love the expression. you turned a beautiful scenic into something whimsical - really well done. -9

Cool shot. Really makes you wonder what just plopped in. The green seems a bit washed out - maybe for time of day. However, I know how hard it is to shoot swampy areas. really great shot - love the composition. 9

So glad this isn't a typical wedding photo. This is so interesitng and has such amazing movement. It's totally dazzling. I love the light - it's perfect. I envy people who can play with light like you have. This really calls the viewer in. With such a huge selection of images this is one of my favorites - i hope you do well. 10

I love the way the rail line (I thinkt hat's what this is) caught the reflection and added the whole drama to this scene. This photo's beauty is definitely attributed to you - the photographer - and not just a nice scene. It takes a sharp/trained eye to see something like this and shoot it as well as you have. it's beautiful. 10

Holy crap! This should be in an art gallery or hung on my living room wall as a poster. extremely artistic - beautiful expression and drama - love the lines - love the balance, the composition, the negative space - the colours are just out of this world. I'm rooting for this to win! 10

Ohhh... I love this. I hope you get the marks you deserve on this one - DPCers are so touchy. this is pitch perfect. A really excellent abstract. Wonderful contrast. Great rich colour. Interesting drama. Love the movement (which really is what adds the drama in abstract). I also love the rich tones int he water. Just amazing - 10

Great photos like this are going to make it impossible for me to get through all the photos in this challenge without spending countless hours writing feedback. This just takes my breath away. I love the drama here. I know you have to work really hard to capture fog. You caputred it brilliantly here. This is dynamite! 10
