Nice rich colors and details showing. Background may be just a little dull for such a bold looking main subject.

the group of surfers may be a little too much in the center for me, otherwise this is very nice, I love the color of the water.

Nice view of a familiar place! Great reflection and perspective. My eye is led quite nicely to the Bank of America tower. Looks like you were located in the Hyatt by Reunion tower?

Winter fairy tale

a lot of good potential in this one, though I don't find it to be quite there. I'm not sure if the subject is the trees, or the river scene they are framing. I think if the scene was cropped a bit, it would help guide the eye toward the river as the subject. the other problem is the blown out highlight on the opposite shore. If there are details there in the out of the camera shot, you could do some selective adjustments on the image to keep those details but still bring out the shadow detail in the trees.

Nice dreamy look. These type of shots always do pretty well here. I'll be interested to find out whose submission this is.

I'm not sure if this was an application of an artistic effect, or just an overexposed shot. Either way, it does not come off well to me, I'm afraid. I think improvement of this one needed to start in the camera.

Good choice of a title. It sure does look like it came out of that movie. I love the retro ideas of what they thought the future would be like.

Thanks for that post challenge post showing your work on this. It's interesting to see what someone was working from and the steps involved. Your own remarks indicate that my in-challenge comment was accurate. If this were advanced editing, you could make some selective adjustments to tone down the bright buildings in the background a bit. I also percieve a slight skew to the image. Easy to correct that.

Well, you're not the first one to ever make that pun. My kids used to think that was original and funny. I like seeing it in a photo though!

Well, at least your title has the appropriate term "brown" in it! Congrats on the effort and the achievement.

I absloutely LOVE latkes, BTW. With applesauce.
