Le Mont Saint-Michel

Such a magnificent image. The processing is genius. This reminds me of Debussy's La cathédrale engloutie (The Sunken Cathedral). The story told through the music is from a Breton legend about a cathedral on the mythical island of Ys. On certain mornings, the cathedral will rise from the waters and you can hear the priests chanting and the bells tolling. For me, your image evokes that mythical atmosphere.

I haven't read the thread, but I remember this image - gave it a 7.

Why did it score low? It has edgy processing (not classic, straight photo look), and the whole photo is very artistic - in my view. Here on DPC, the majority of people love stock-like photos. If you look at the eagle shots that do well, they have nothing artistic about them, usually.

5.6 is not shabby for a Free Study - the bar is set very high for this challenge. I think it should have scored better, but I could have told you it wasn't going to - because of what I said above.

However, don't let this influence your style. At some point you have to make the decision if you're going to shoot for the score or shoot for your artistic integrity.
