The bluer sky definitely helps it a lot. The rusty yellow whatsits lead my eye out across the water nicely. Did you do selective editing on it, or did you replace the sky altogether?

I wouldn't have thought this was in Philly! Neat house. Overcooked HDR would be appropriate, to give it that Thomas Kinkade look.

I'm really enjoying finding abstract images in things. That probably means my challenge scores are getting ready to take a nosedive.

Sharp and well detailed, but it comes off a bit flat looking to me. I think it could benefit from a little more visual pop. Some contrast and saturation, perhaps, or even a touch of tonemapping, if you have any of that sort of software.

There is a lack of clarity to this photo and I think most of it is due to the use of excessive JPEG compression. Your file size of only 36k indicates a highly compressed image and that is what is robbing a lot of the detail and sharpness from this image. I can see obvious compression artifacts around the lighthouse. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit.

I thought this was some hills for a few moments, and then I noticed the mane. Well done.
