I am confused how you guessed my editing process on this photo. I did not apply any blur at all to this image. I actually did very little processing and it was essentially a crop, and desaturation and a touch of selective sharpening of the stag.

Well DANG there slim jim lens man! That's a super slim slice for F8! Ok, I stand corrected and I'm eating crow. Pretty cool, and thanks for sharing.

FYI - This was my top pick for the challenge. Glad it still made top 10, but very surprised not to see it at the top of the order. Wonderful portrait.

:-) Curious creatures aren't they? Fun. I almost did something similar. Good luck!

I like everything but what's displayed on the TV. :-) On a serious note, this is a well thought out capture. A slight perspective tweak in post to straighten up the side angles would have bumped this a point or two. Still, nicely seen and captured. Good luck!

Why are so many images cropped to panoramic ratios in this challenge? Yep, you definitely captured some fall color. Good luck.

Bit narrow on the crop (panoramic in nature). Too bad you couldn't stop down some to get more starburst on the setting sun. Nice colors however. Good luck.

This challenge makes sense for a drone shot. Love the fall colors. The distant skyline didn't cooperate much (would have been way cool to have a bit of drama there).

A lot going on for sure and interesting to look at. It's a pretty thin crop to achieve the 'Wide' aspect.
