Hi again... you know, there are some lovely magentas and reds that could be brought out a little in this shot... I actually played with it a bit and pulled out a nice pastel, realistic-looking sunrise (IMO, haha). Just used curves, selective color adjustment, and hue/sat. Cropped a bit to let the little tree shine.

I can't believe you shot this blind from a car... that's remarkable!

I like the natural lighting. Compared with others in the challenge, it doesn't hold my interest as well, but I did feel pride for those serving when I first viewed your photo.

Interesting challenge for a macro... good spin. I like the angled line of the zipper... it give it some energy. I think a little more contrast would have made it pop more.

nicely photographed and a good abstract take on the fashion category

Bingo! My son Isaac's cheek, actually.

I had considerable difficulty and really limited working time to try and get a metallic gold look; being able to use the advanced editing rules would have been a big help here, especially in being able to keep the fingers naturally-colored.

There's just nothing special about this . . . Maybe a B&W version would have made it stand out more.
