Hey! I used to go fishing there back in the early 90's. :D Never bothered to look at what part of the country you're in. I liked Old Hickory Lake better for fishing but Percy Priest was close and convenient.

Congrats on breaking a 6 on this. :)

Score 1 for the border, 6 against. :P

Amazing how minute details get the attention sometimes. I hope you've found a nice frame for this. :)

Still standing by my '10'. Fair score overall, 110th? Hmmm. In the end, certainly a shot to be proud of. Well done!

Dang! This free study was tough. 159th?! Wow. Well, FWIW, it's an excellent photograph and certainly one to be proud of - I would be.

Funny, I didn't even notice that piece of foreground grass and I gave this a 10. Shows how much I know! :D

Actually, now that I think about it some more, that foreground grass adds a leading element for the viewer and is possibly an enhancing diagonal line. Hmmm.

Perhaps this image needs a bit of of disecting yet. Oops! Sorry frog, nothing personal. (as my wife would say, I'm just cracking myself up). He-he.

Anyway, nice finish Trevor. I see it's made it into your top 4. Congrats!

Very nice color, lighting, and focus on this! Congrats on getting close enough for this. We have some large bullfrogs at our pond but I've yet to sneak up successfully with a camera in hand. You've inspired me to try again! :D Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Just wanted to say I really like the overall feel and tone of this. A healthy dose of contrast really makes this work. The composition is right on. Well seen and captured. Good luck in the challenge.

Well composed and the lighting/exposure is right on. I do find the distinct difference between her eyes/mouth and the rest of her face to be a little unsettling. I understand you were trying to highlight those areas by keeping them sharp but IMO it's a tad too much difference between sharp and soft. Good luck in the challenge.

Hey look! They're playing golf on Mars. :P Interesting. The people are so clear - that's cool. Not really much of an IR fan, but best of luck to you anyways. :D
