This is a wonderful image to look at. The natural lines formed by the trees coming to a 'V' and the clouds loosely matching the shape all enhance this photo. Big downer for me is the processing done on the clouds. There seems to be a distinct line/area of clouds in the 'V' section that are burned in while the same color and pattern of clouds just to the left are in a more natural state. I wouldn't have messed with that sky. It would have been great left as is. Great eye to see this image shape up. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice subject and fun to look at, but way too heavy-handed on the processing for my taste. Good luck in the challenge.

Very pretty young lady. Nice job of blurring out the background to bring her fully into the front. To me it looks like her lips, nose, and eyes are a little unnatural, but hey, who knows, maybe she is that clean and smooth in real life. :D Good luck in the challenge.

The Silhoutted Fisherman

Nice idea, but I think for better impact the fisherman should be more isolate. He's too close to the shoreline the way this image is framed.

Bokeh practice? :D Wonderful color in this, but you've lost a lot of detail in the leaves. Too much Neat Image perhaps (or some other noise reduction tool)? Good luck in the challenge.

Woah there! Easy on the saturation slider! :D Interesting place and quite the vivid colors I see.

Looks like Lake Michigan. You've certainly captured wind at work in this photo. The color tone selection works well to give it a harsh gritty feeling. Nicely done! Hope your gear was ok in that environment! Good luck in the challenge.

Cool costume! :D I like the way the cape comes across the photo at an angle to keep the viewer inside the natural framing of this shot. Nice vivid color. The only thing on the down side for me is the whole setup seems, well, setup. :) Good luck in the challenge.

Nice B/W image with strong contrast. Looks good even on this cruddy work monitor. :D Interesting to look at and shows a connection to the challenge theme. Well done. Good luck in the challenge.

First thought that comes to mind is power. You've done a nice job of exposing on this as the foreground rocks show nice detail and the whites are in control (maybe a tad shy of true white). A minor boost in contrast might help this shot a little, but it could be this cruddy work monitor. :D A little tweak in levels or histogram adjustment to bring the whites up a bit is a consideration. Anyway, nice photo overall. Good luck in the challenge.
