great scene, and nice colors! A little lower vantage point may have captured more reflections. The dark area to the right could be lightened a bit, IMO. Maybe even pan a bit more to the left and get the bank there, which would move most of the dark area out of the frame. The worst thing is the halo along the tree line, which is an easy post processing fix. You have some really beautiful area to play in. Thanks for sharing it!

RR Bridge @ Indian Rock

Comment:
Interesting old bridge / location. I think you have done a nice job capturing the old feel. The bridge support really stands out to me..more than the bridge itself. If I had one nit-pick, it seems that some of the leaves on the left have an odd flat coloring to them, like they were really bright or they were bumped with curves/brightness. Personally, I think I would have dropped the sepia layer opacity a bit, but that's just me.

Great outtake!! Would have been tough for me to choose which to enter, but who can argue with a ribbon in hand? :-)

Very nice shot! Love the color/lighting on you, and the starfield is great!

Going Grunge

Nice grunge effect! My suggestions for the grunge photo would be to mess your hair up and find a shirt that isn't so nice. Maybe a T-Shirt with a flannel or un-buttoned button down shirt over the T. Maybe try some shots not looking directly at the camera as well.

I like this shot. Lots of colors along the tracks, and the curve really makes the shot. Nice perspective.

You look like you're almost at the same elevation as the clouds! Makes for an uncommon perspective. Nice exposure as well.

This is a beautiful scene. I also like the dramatic effect (some sort of gothic glow type thing??). Only complaint is it looks like some of the sheep's hind quarter has lost detail and has a funky yellow color. Maybe some cloning from another portion of the sheep to add back the texture could be done?
