Montana Sky

I think that the lay of the clouds makes the horizon look a little out of level, even though on close inspection, it actually is level.
I remember seeing the effect that you mention in your comment when I was up there on vacation in the summer. The processing looks a little hard, but that makes for a very moody looking scene overall, which is ok with me.

That's pretty brave to enter a P&S image in a best of challenge. I like the color spread of the foreground fire light and the deep blue of the sky in this. Glad you got to go there to get this shot. I was at Little Torch Key later that week for the sport lobster season.

This one grabbed me too. I can't see why it didn't get some 9's and a few 10's. More saturation in the green plants would probably have helped DPC wise, but not actually helped the shot for it's honesty, which is the best thing about it to me.

You were right about the amount of detail in the shot pushing the limit for an 800 px wide image. I can see where this one would make a superb poster at full resolution.

Hi Judi! This is interesting, and different from your usual images. The strong foreground light, and the way the star streaks fill the sky, it somehow reminds me of driving in the rain at night.
Keep experimenting with this.

Well done, and thought out before shooting. I like the way the car seems to be going into a groove in the horizon, creating a sort of focus point at the horizon that tries to drag your eyes away from the victim in the foreground.

What a sweet place Judy. I am happy that you live nearby, so that you can go here when you like.
I think that maybe the softness in the treetops hurt this one in voting.

This is a strong shot with perfect timing, and the expression finishes the deal.
