I love this picture. I just wish it were rotated to vertical, ccw maybe 1.5, 2.0 degrees.

WTG, dude!

Afternoon light, indeed. Striking image, made less striking by the murky treatment of the sky/landscape separation and an overalls ense of blocky softness. The massive black frame is not helping at all IMO, either.

Wonderful picture, losing imapct because the dark tones aren't fully expressed. In other words, it ;lacks contrast in the middle range, and this makes the pure, detailed white of the glowing dome appear out of range, even though it's actually not.

It's odd. The water's wonderful, the right side and distant areas are terrific, but the left side foliage is flat and lackluster. It's SO close...

Oh, HOW I wish attention had been paid in post-processing to a richer expression of tonal values in this image. The whole is about a half stop too light, and the foreground even more washed out, perhaps a full stop. Also, it's leaning half a degree to the right, and that disturbs slightly. Wonderful capture!

Don't Try This At Home

Remarkably well-balanced in every respect, not least of which is the true horizontal of the wand. The guiy's expression makes the picture. One wonders what he's looking at, up therte somewhere, and the sense of anticipation is palpable. Flawless rendition of the flames. The protruding thumb is an essential element of the composition. I admire this very much.

Clean and crisp, well-composed, really no nits but just short of the line that takes it into toal WOW country.

The title is a lovely pun, the image is delightfully down-key. I don't suppose it will finish above the middle of the pack, but I am very fond of it.

Fine action/animal capture. Did you try upping the yellow component on the grass a hair? It seems a little flat to me, color-wise.
