Wow! Great image. Congrats on the blue. I am surprised it didn't get above a 7.

I am so jealous. I can hear an owl or two in my vicinity but I have never seen them. Normally I am not a fan of Topaz but its effective here (mainly because it wasn't overdone)

Congrats (again) on your blue. Sorry for not offering congratulations sooner. (I just realized that it got reinstated)

Hi Marbo, I saw your comment about Lightroom's WB limitations. I saw this article and thought I would share it. I haven't tried it out personally but it looks like it might work.

eta: Lets try this again WITH the article:

I've done some IR shots and they never seem to look anything like this. How do you get the pink and the blue?

man...you did get whacked by the anti-drop brigade. I mean its not the best drop picture ever but its still pretty darn good. Then again, I never get tired of water drop pictures.

Bleak House by Charles Dickens

Greeting from the Critique Club!

This shot certainly meets the challenge and connects well with the title you chose. (I think that was the only "challenge' in this challenge - take a picture and find a book that suited it) The monochrome look works to give this shot a bleak feeling. Nice dramatic look to the sky as well.

It appears that you were aiming for symetry but didn't quite achieve it. I can imagine it was hard to shoot as there was probably people around. It would have been nice to get some space on both sides.

Overall a pretty decent shot.

Polluting Our Oceans

Well...comment 2000 for me. This would have done really well Brian. Its a terrific image and has a great message. You may have wanted to straighten it so that the stream of oil was vertical but that's pretty minor.

Strange. I don't remember seeing this. Great capture.
