Deception Pass Bridge - 1930's

Thanks for all the comments. I agree about the distractions in the lower right and left. Cropping them out just looked worse to me and being a basic challenge I had to leave them in. As for over shapening I seem to be having a problem with that on images with quite a bit of detail. As I did not add any sharpening to this photo throughout the process I think it might be in my rezizing. Still working on it. Overall I'm pretty happy with this score.

Thanks again to all who voted and commented.

Great job as usual. Perfect the way the wings frame out the flower and show only blue sky between them.

Surprised this has not gotten any comments. Great clarity and the composition is different than the norm. It has a softness to it but still maintains clarity. I like it.

Very cool. Two for the price of one! Or this an insect diner? Great shot.

I'd say you blew your old high score out of the water. And a Blue Ribbon! Well deserved.

Wow! 43 comments, 4 favorites and my highest score ever (by a whooping .034)! Thanks to all for the comments and the votes. I think most of the questions you asked are explained above. As you can see I did not have a lot of choice on composition and the like but feel lucky to have gotten this.

A little noisy but nice shot of the hawk. Not a big fan of captive birds thoough.

Nice portrait. A bit soft though as you lost the feather detail.
