Comment by Teafran:
From a technical standpoint, this is a terrific effort - crisp, sharp with everything detail well controlled and captured. From an artistic standpoint, it's rather bland and uninviting to the viewer. Sometimes an image, even one as technically competant as this one is, is just an image. A worthy entry into the challenge and directly related to the challenge subject. A good effort falling short in the artistic sense.

Nice shot, IMO it a little bright.

Comment by smudgeSMJ:
This falls flat for me. Everything kind of blends together and there's not a strong enough angle to get some nice depth going.

Comment by Melethia:
LOL! I just realized you and Bear used the same title. Very different interpretations! This is a gorgeous shot - beautifully processed as well.

Comment by Sheryll:
A little closer and move to the left to bring the composition a little off center could improve this. It isn't bad the way it is I just think it might be better if it weren't center composed.

Comment by Teafran:
An image that demonstates the subject matter of the challenge in spectacular fashion with excellant DOF and color control. Both a technical and artistic success that more than adequately meets the challenge subject in particular with the color shades. A very worthy contender for top ten honors and a possible ribbon contender.

Comment by Lutchenko:
Excellent interpretation of the challenge.
Now if you'd have had a piece of balck card with you this could have been a winner, but that is just based on the
type of shot I like to take.

Neat shot. Wish there was a bit more contrast to the shot.
