A very nice image of a serene environment. It does seem a tad oversharpened, and from a personal perspective, the blue item on the lower left really detracts from the image.

Good luck in the challenge.

I fear that the date stamp on this image will result in a DQ.

The image itself is rather dark, bland and lacking a central theme. I have looked at this image on a variety of monitors and still cannot decipher much, other than the leaves at the forefront. You might consider reading some of the various tutorials available.

I wish you well in your future endeavors... but this image I fear will not do all that well in this challenge.

Good luck and happy shooting.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Not only is this image executed to perfection, but it manages to lift my spirits every single time I look at it... which is often.

Very well done.

A beautiful shot of the Seattle waterfront. I just love the way you guide us along the waterfront to the downtown core. Great leading lines. Well done indeed.

Very well done indeed. You managed to take something that we see and essentially ignore on a daily basis and turn it into a very captivating image.

My only quibble with the image is the presence of the very small line at the extreme lower left of the photo, as it is an unnecessary distraction.

Kudos on a well thought out and executed image... it should do well.

A very nice image with fantastic lighting and DOF. I very much like the different colours of the sky and the gradual descent of the lights into the sunset.

You might want to check your sensor, as there seems to be a bit of sensor dust visible in you image.

A very nice image of a beautiful vista.

You should give consideration to cleaning what seems to be dust from your sensor as it detracts from your image.

Love this image, and personally might have even shortened the DOF a tad in order to eliminate any and all distractions.

Confused

I truly like the concept for this image, but am at a loss to understand your choice of DOF, particularly as it relates to the bottom portion of the image. The blur is, in my humble opinion, a major distraction and it could cost you.

Best of luck.
