Congrats on the excellent shot and ribbon. Your processing skills and attention to every detail are amazing. When I posted your Calendar entry to the Tree thread I had not yet voted the HDR challenge, so I had no idea you had reshot it for this challenge. I posted it because it was one of the most memorable pictures of a tree I had ever seen. I can add this to that group.

Well he did omit the starburst, but that only knocked about 0.04 points off.

I love the difference between the foreground and background. Great idea splitting the two up and doing different processing for each.
To me this is great use of HDR. Not overly heavy or obvious*, and mastering light.
Well done!

* it's obviously processed, but not 'classic' HDR to me.

When I saw this I thought somebody went out and copied you since I did not think you would use the same tree and the same comp twice. It remains a great shot and congrats on your Blue with this image. Same recipy, different flavours
