The View

I really like this, but as usual I have some nits to pick. Overall feel is dark and flat, which would be OK if it was either or, but this lacks anything at the bright end of the contrast spectrum (all it needs it a simple levels adjustment). The bigger issue is that the cloning/smart filling you did to extend the bottom of the outside image shows repeating lines that are both obvious and very distracting.

Otherwise I love the painterly quality of this. Giving it a 6 but it could have been 8 or 9 from me.

Not scoring if only because it's a great piece of graphic art that shows me nothing in terms of photography. Would give it a 1 because of that and the work put in doesn't deserve that.

You need to spend a little time removing the edges around the wings to make it more convincing. Nicely assembled but not quite finished.

Would have loved it if you'd spent a little more time masking windows along the edges of the shot so that the frame is "as is" while the windows reflect the mountain scape. Still, very creative and well done.

Another "should have been front page" image for me. Only beef is/are the spots on the left edge (sensor dust or the window you're shooting through?). Still, less of a nit to pick than others that placed ahead of you.

Would have loved to seen a little more detail in the foreground, but otherwise a spectacular capture. Well deserved HM.

Gonna state emphatically that this should have been Blue. Nicely done, Dennis.

I don't know if this is art or just a photo of art, but I'm leaning towards the latter. That said, I love the photo.

Shooting other art as art can be dicey for challenges like this. You nailed it. One of my favorites. Is that you Wiley?

Great lines and a good subject for the challenge. A little over sharp.

Side note, there's just a little too much lost in the inky blackness in the bottom right. I tried it on 3 different monitors to make sure, then pulled a copy into Photoshop with a darker background and it lightened up just fine. The light grey does this all the time to B&W shots here, which is unfortunate, so maybe double check the appearance of darker areas after uploading in the future.
