Holter Lake

That sky looks beautiful and tonal range is pretty good in the shot. However, I don´t really find the subject/landscape very interesting, just a lake like any other and there is really nothing that the composition is doing to make it interesting. Gave a 6 as I still think it´s above average.

I do like the lower part of the photo but that heavy dramatic HDR sky is just not to my taste at all. I also find the lack of a main subject that draws my eye in this photo, it just wanders all over and finds no one spot to stop at. Don´t dislike this shot though, just don´t like it either and voted a 5.

Pretty good, however when I compare this to for example shots by Terje who has shot a lot of photos like this it doesn´t really hold it´s own but a good effort and well above average in the challenge, gave it a 7.

A bit oversaturated for my taste, when I want strong colors I personally use contrast adjustments and leave saturation alone, you might want to try it :)

Well I do like the composition and that negative space. However, having no texture whatsoever in the sky hurts the image a bit IMHO and why not make it completely black and white since there are so little colors in it to begin with? Gave it a 6.

Not bad but take better care when processing something similar next time, there is some bad haloing around the treeline, especially on the right, where you darkened the sky :)

Not a bad shot at all but wish it was crispy and sharp, looks like there is some color noise, especially in the buildings to the right.

Dramatic processing a bit too much for my taste but other than that pretty good, at least that vintage look works for it´s benefit.

Strong dramatic cloud editing a bit over the top for my taste, also I find that the lack of a main subject a bit off, my eye wanders over the frame and finds no interesting place to stop.

Surprised it needed to be validated, thought everyone knew that this was perfectly legal with expert editing. Anyway, not to my taste though, this editing and frankly I just want to squint my eyes to see "through" the text, I think the concept of the photo is good but the outcome is not to my taste. Voted a 5 as I neither like nor dislike it.
