Hideaway

Comment:
its really beautiful Anita .. its like a fairyland .. makes me think of angels and other dimensions where we might see those elusive creatures ...
i love the glow btw ... but i'm a big lover of glow .. i think tho that the sharpening might be a bit too powerful for this soft and dreamy scene .. it gives it a slight harshness .. but as you know .. thats just my opinion ..
i'm loving the colours .. the stunning reflections .. and that scene .. and how if you were there you'd feel enclosed in that beautiful environment .. gorgeous .. :)
helloo .. i'm just wondering if that area top left hand side of the image is the sky .. if ppl made that assumption then that could be why this didnt do so well ..

Originally posted by Neat: Well Mark I'm gobsmacked as unto why this didn't ribbon! Clearly there is no sky but water to me. I actually bumped this to a 10, not that it made much difference! I would love a tilt shift challenge btw, you achieved a great affect!

was just scrolling thru the challenge .. and saw this .. and Anita took the words right out of my mouth ..
well not exactly .. but i was going to say .. really surprised that this didnt come in the top ten at least .. but more like the top 5 .. or ribbon .. its brilliant .. and i cant imagine anyone would think that's the sky .. i wondered before i opened it during voting .. but when it opened it was totally obvious that it was water and not sky ..
anyway .. this is just a speed hump in the bigger scheme of things .. and i'm glad you entered it .. its a real feast for the eyes .. :)

what an amazing capture .. will be looking to see how you got this image at rollover ..
i'm not voting yet btw ..
but in my mind a comment is almost as good as a vote .. :)


ps. i came back to say i totally forgot this was an extended edit challenge when i commented before .. not sure if you used those rules to create this or it was a single shot . . either way ... its pretty cool ... :

ps. i came back to say i totally forgot this was an extended edit challenge when i commented before .. previously the join of the sky and the land gave me pause .. now i'm thinking its two pics .. but thats a whatever .. either way .. its a very cool and imaginative image .. :)

"Low Rider"
by njsabs

Comment:
i am going thru commenting and thought i had commented on this days ago .. i think from memory i was looking at the thumbs and this one was too good not to open ..
i can see that my comment isnt here so i'll have to comment again ..
looks like a winner to me .. it has everything .. a dog for starters .. they make everything better .. the dof is perfectly wonderful .. the sense of motion ... thats outstanding ... what a brilliant catch .. i suck at action shots .. so i'm really in awe of this .. :) .. not only your photographic skills but your dog ... what an angel .. :)

ps. a couple of minutes later .. i forgot this was an extended edit challenge .. and it struck me when i commented that the motion was pretty cool .. now i'm thinking it was edited like that .. either way this is magic .. :)

The time machine
by Neat

Comment:
i love the concept of a time machine ... and you have done that concept proud .
altho from a lot of my reading about quantum physics etc etc . time is more a reality in this dimension and on this earth than 'elsewhere' ..
hope you do well .. as this is original and unusual ..
