I'm surprised this placed where it did. Blame it on lack of oversaturated colors, I suppose. I can see by the stats that A lot of people really loved this one. Should have ribboned, IMO.

This has to get one of my shoehorn awards for unexpected humor in a serious challenge. I hope there is a good story here...

Seems a bit soft to me. Not sure exactly what it is and what to suggest, though.

Midday sun -13:26 (pm)

I guess the sun breaking out would be a sunrise of sorts. Or you are near the pole. I would not have know this was midday if you had not said so. I'm curious of why you thought to alert the voter to what will surely be perceived as DNMC. There's someting I'm not getting, but I do like the way the sun is striking these trees.

Sepia Sunset

This entry screams " Posthumous" to me. Blurry, and bleary, but in an appealing way. Very different from the rest of the challenge.

I haven't been liking the use of HDR in this challenge, but you did this one well. I'm impressed that you were able to not only use the HDR look effectively, but you were able to get an awful lot of detail packed into a narrow panoramic view. I'd love to see a larger view of this one if you could post it somehwere. A fave.

Seems a little dull for a sunrise shot, but I popped it into my paint app out of curiosity, and found some quick adjustments of levels, curves and contrast really made this pop off the screen.

Looks like standard high scoring stuff. Nice catch of the sun shining through the open rafters.

Nice, though the details may be too fine for 720 pixels.
