I really like this. Great B&W. I can't decide whether or not I like the halo effect. How was this achieved? I sort-of wish I could see the whole "globe".... still.. it does a great job at leading me into the river, which does a good job of leading me into the picture. I am between a 9 and a 10.... I think a 10....

Beautiful scene - and I love the "globe" effect caused by the vignetting.

Nice IR, and works well with the fisheye to make an 'otherworldly' effect. I'd rotate it CW a little to straighten the horizon and crop out the vignetting. Interesting.

No complaints here. This is one of my favorite photos. The exposure on the trees is very effective.

Not usually a fan of this type of photograph, but this one is well done. Did you use a green filter? I love the white on the trees and the stillness of the water changing to the texture of movement. The only thing I might have done differently is to straighten the whole thing within the frame.

Absolutely stunning. The composition is just wonderful with the trees framing either side... it leads the viewers eye right up the water. While there's nothing much you can do about it, it would be nice if there were just a tad bit more definition between the light trees and the sky. This is my favorite of all the submissions.
