There are a couple patches in the sky that seem just a TAD too bright. Otherwise, I think this is a wonderful shot. I like the sepia tones and the angle and framing/cropping are good. No signs of man here. The focus is nice, and lighting on the subject its self is good. Good luck in the challenge.

Definately not by the hands of man, that's for sure. I like how you have filled the entire photo with the subject. The focus and clarity are good, and colors are also very nice. It is a technically well done shot. It's not overly exciting, but still good. Good luck in the challenge.

Kind of grainy. LOL. Just kidding. I really like the composition though. The contrast is great. I like the darkness against the light sand. The angle and framing/cropping are just fine. I like how you have taken up the entire photo with the subject. Definately looks untouched by man. Nice find. Good luck in the challenge.

Juniperus Virginiana

The focus here seems to be just to the right of dead center on the little green branches. I think I would like to see some of the berries in focus as well. The color and lighting are both very good, and the angle and framing/cropping are ok too. I would just prefer to have a bit more focus. Just a personal preference. I have wondered what these look like. I have friends, who are sisters, and their names are Jasmine, Jonquil and Juniper. Never seen a Juniper before. Thanks. Good luck in the challenge.

I'm not really sure what's with all the milky water in this challenge, but I haven't really decided if I like it as a whole. You have used the technique well, and technically have done a good job, but I don't think it appeals to me visually. That's just a personal opinion however, I know lots of people really like it. This definately looks untouched by man, other than the effect of the water, but who's counting. Focus otherwise is nice, and the angle and framing/cropping is good as well. Good luck in the challenge.

Interesting colors. The orange clouds are strange to me, but I'm not familiar with filters and such. The little moon looks great. The border is good for the photo. I think the angle and framing/cropping are also good. Having the mood in the center does not bother me here because it is actually a bit more to the top of the photo, and it's ballenced by the clouds. Good luck in the challenge.

While I know that the water is suposed to have this effect, the focus on the surroundings appear to be in soft focus as well. The very white spot just above half way up in the photo is a bit distracting. I'm not sure what it is, but it kind of makes me want to concentrate on that one spot. THe angle and framing/cropping seems good to me. Good luck in the challenge.

Beautiful!! Looks like a dream. Definately looks untouched by man. The tones are nice, and focus and clarity look good too. I actually like the bright bright light at the top, I think it adds a lot to the overall photo. Good luck in the challenge.

Very pretty. Definately naturally occuring. i like the silhouetted trees against that sky. What wonderful colors. The angle and framing/cropping are great! I think the focus is a little soft, but don't quote me on that , cause I've never really seen these trees before, so that might just be how they look. Otherwise very nice. Good luck in the challenge.

Pretty cool shot. I'm not really seeing how this has no human intervention though. I know this doesn't occur naturally. It is still very nice, and the color is great. Focus and clarity are perfect. It is a very nice abstract indeed, but I don't think it fits the challenge well. Good luck in the challenge.
