You have REALLY got to watch the oversharpening here, the halos around the leaves and on the horizon are unbelievably aggressive... It's a nice scene, though.

It's a Frame Up!!

The challenge is "Naturally Framed" specifically to exclude shots like this, I believe. It's nicely done, though.

The World In Infrared.

Comment:
This looks less like infrared and more like an old, faded C-6 print. The effect is quite lovely, as an effect, but the image itself suffers from lack of a subject or any sort of compositional dynamic to hold our interest.

Spring's Bounty

Almost completely without anythign to focus on, almost totally subject-less, this image becomes all about the muted sense of light, with even the colors downplayed (the temptation to shif them up in saturation must have been hard to resist). I like it quite a lot, but I suspect it is not faring well at the hands of the voters. From me, a 7.

Swan Lake

Comment:
The horizon running downhill to the right and the strange lack of luminosity in what should, by rights, be a hauntingly luminous scene detract from this very well seen and basically very beautiful image. 6 from me.
