Just going back to input of others in the thread. This works much better for me.

Turbulent Flow

Originally posted by Jules1x: . . . The main part of this image that really didn't connect with me was the blur of the whites of the shirts, it was just too big a white blur and then at the next second below were bike tires almost in focus. Was just a bit to uneven for me I think.

Yep, the white shirts looked almost blown and were really distracting. Haven't read other comments, but what if you put a green layer over the whole and blended it in? Or crop just below the shirts? Or both?

Lovely. I especially like the purple in the background.
You didn't beat me by much but you did it :) Congratulations on advancing to the next round - I'll be cheering you on.

Nice frame and I like the focus and textures on it. The scene beyond is a bit soft and lacks impact for me.

Nice time of day for a shot and the scope of this cityscape is impressive. Lower half of the sky is pretty but the sky is unremarkable otherwise, the dark foliage and building don't do much for me either. I actually expect more nature and less man-made in a landscape.

Love the colors - the peach and pale aqua are lovely together. I also like the three part composition - square of pink and triangles of green and shore. However, the scene is not that interesting to me.

Niagara Falls

A grand scene. I think the boat contributes nicely, but I find the con trails distracting.

Question. Did you "erase" the cloud texture from the houses and land? I see SC's point about the texture bringing clouds into an image where they should be and where they were not, so it wouldn't matter here anyway, but I see no sign of the cloud texture in the foreground and it was my understanding that ANY texture had to be applied equally over the entire image or it was no longer considered a "texture" for the purpose of the advanced rules editing set.
And btw this is a fantastic picture - and for purposes other than DPChallentge, your editing choices are right on in terms of the scene and mood. Love it.

Great find!!
And I thought the title fit was great - vultures being scavengers that feed on dead animals and all. I just wish they had posed on something more "picturesque " :)

One of my 10's - I think I only had two. I love this - it made me laugh every time I went through the entries - and I am one of the ones who push the view count up :)
