ahhh the Abbey :) I miss golf already. Stupid Calgary snow oh...the picture..right. your greens seem a little yellow (which may well be the time of year) I'd maybe hue shift a little to green it up (so much cheaper than fertilizer). I like the simple border. might have cropped a little off the bottom to get rid of that tree or whatever it is in the bottom right corner.

the lighting needs work. you can get rid of those hot spots by diffusing your light (or flash) through some tissue paper. a little reflector use from behind, or some backlighting would fill in those shadows as well. lastly, it might look a little softer on a darker surface - the white is overpowering in what i would consider a softer subject. Nice idea, crisp focus.

very nice. feels lonely or something. great tones...sepia is a difficult duptone to pull off well, and you - or your software ;) - did it well.

too bad Gringo - 7.5+ almost always gets a win...lots of great shots in this one. Nice processing job - wouldn't mind seeing the original for comparison.

a lot of effort went into this. i like that. i looks like you used multiple images of yourself (or the guy in the phot if that's not you). desaturated the yellows and maybe the reds and greens too. you do look a little cyanotic. cool effect. what's with the stuff in your eyes? ah, no matta - i like it.

be a shame to get a dq for a not-very-cryptic title. cool looking shot tho - what's that a little 5 watt bulb or something? i like the pic except for the border. the extra black on either side makes it looks sloppy. good idea either way.
