Dragonfly on lily bloom

Gary - this one looks great! Be careful of those saturation levels - you have 'blown' out a bit of the detail in the flower, but the dragon fly looks awesome!

Gary - you sure put a lot of color into this one. It does pop when on the monitor. In some way, I worry that you may have pushed it a bit on some of the processing techniques. This is noticeable when you bump those saturations up, especially in the blue and cyan channels. If you look closely around the treeline, you can see the start of some halo-ing (light areas around the trees -both in the sky and in the water). It is subtlein the sky, but is pretty obvious in the water. This really gives the shot a less polished look.

Regarding the composition, the boat being so far to the right gives the shot an unbalanced feel. I think trying to compose the shot with the boat more at at the right 1/3 mark would make the boat more the subject, rather than an afterthought. It is a very cool object and worthy of the setting.

Wonderful richness of the conversion and excellent use of negative space to create an image with impact. The shape of the bird is magical and perfectly meets the challenge. However, what makes the image engaging likely cost you substantially in the score - the uncentered positioning of the bird.

You have a wonderful image here, and I can understand why it is your DPC profile image.
