Easy does it on the sharpening. This is just my opinion but to me it looks over sharpened. Backing off a bit would have improved it for me.

Easy does it on the sharpening. This is just my opinion but to me it looks way over sharpened ... to the point of distraction. Backing off a bit would have improved an otherwise worthy photo.

Great subject. Nicely composed and lit. Does a good job conveying emotion. But feels a little over sharpened to me. Hope it does well in the voting.

I think I know this place, and if so, you have done a marvelous job catching it perfectly. Well done. I can truly feel the texture of the place ... part of it's lighting, part composition, part colors. I am delighted you resisted over sharpening. The photo demonstrates a looser definition of texture that DPC voters may embrace. I fear it won't be voted as highly as i think it should. I hope I'm wrong. Among my top 10. Hope it ribbons.

I really like this photo. I like its out-of-the-box nature. It does a very nice job of capturing the texture of the sky. I'm a pilot and I've seen a lot of sky. Well done! I fear that it won't score as highly as I think it should because it employs a broader definition of texture than voters will appreciate. Hope I'm wrong. It's among my top 10 and I hope it ribbons.

Beautifully captured. I love how the rings lead the eye around the photo. Very nicely lit. Terrific DOF. I might have cropped a little tighter on the left and a little looser on the right, but no worries, it's among my top 10 picks. Well done!

Beautifully done. Not only have you captured texture in the small (surface texture) but you also caught texture in the large (variously colored flakes). I like that. Among my top 10 picks.
