City Reflections

There are so many good entries here and it's hard to decide which one is really the best. The great thing about this photograph are the elements present: sparkling water with the reflections, dramatic cloudy skies, good buildings to enhance the sky line, green trees that add more colors.

HDR? I am not big fan but this isn't cartoonish so it works for me.

One request: I wish to see the water cropped just a little bit tight so that the lines for the trees and bldgs are on the 1/3 line of the photo.

Overall, this is one great entry.

I hope this will do well.

A classic and clean execution of minimalism and high-key technique. This is good.

What makes this photo captivating is the light that is shining through those dead branches. The border adds a punch too. Great work!

The elements of the photo is great: from the snow-capped evergreens, the snowboarder, the clean snow and diagonal lines. Composition and color are effective too. One flaw is the shadow in front. Other than that, this is one great capture. I hope this will do well.

I love Meredith and Ruthie. 9. It's noticeable but I can forego the crease in the background as it does not really distract the photo. 'Hope to see this in the top 10 or in the ribbon area.
