blues are way too strong. some levels adjustment would have helped in restoring a more natural color

this looks like about a 4:5 ratio.. I think a 2:3 or even just 3:4 would have worked better

This is an awesome picture. Have you tried sharpening it at all, at least on the bolt? The picture is clearly pretty sharp already, but it looks like a bit of USM would have made an important difference.

lovely picture. nice snails!

and how do you like the 28-300 lens? i'm liking the 70-300, but i also miss the shorter range. does the 28-300 work well for an all-purpose lens? i'd really like to avoid switching lenses as much as possible.

The Eyes Have It

superficially similar to my intended triangles entry (though I missed the submission deadline). I like the out-of-focus surrounding area.

Looking Beyond

this is almost a really great photo. only two things are keeping it from being really good to my eye: (1) the lack of focus. it's all too soft. (2) the vanishing point is directly in the center of the frame. moving it to 1/3 on the left or right would help a lot. if these two things were done differently, I'd have scored this quite highly.
