A peaceful flight to hell!

Thar she blows (again, and again, and again!). My goodness we've seen a lot of this place recently. Although I have to say this is now my favorite of this location thus far. Catching the helicopter at just the right moment, AND having great detail in the lava plume (or whatever it's called), is very nice. Good luck in the challenge.

A little static and it seems like you had to work hard on recovering some sharpness in post. ???

Spring Waters at Oak Creek

Considering the time of year (bare branches) this came out pretty nice. I like the complementary color tones (cool blues and warm reds). If it wasn't for that tree in the upper-left I could probably go higher than a 6 on this. Nonetheless, good luck in the challenge.

Nice detail and good touch with the burning brush.

Birds and Bridges

Water level is up, eh? I like the reflections of the bridge at this location. The way the seagulls form a loose overhead arch is what makes this photo work and adds interest to what would be an otherwise mundane sky. Good timing to catch the train coming over the bridge. :-) Good luck in the challenge.

Tricky photo to take. You did a nice job combing multiple exposures to pull it off overall.

I like the B&W conversion. Comp is fine. May have lost some detail in the wingtips...overall a pleasing image. Good luck.

Nice layered kind of look with the various elements. Perhaps a bit mundane for some. Would work well in a series I think. Good luck.

Nice location. Probably the wrong time of day to really maximize potential. Light is a bit flat.

I think you worked WAY too hard in post trying to recover something that probably should have been reconsidered. Subject is fine, but it's very oversharpened and blurry.
