Deserved to place much higher. Texture and lines respond well to your treatment with light, providing a lot for the eye to see. Thanks for posting the back story.

Sorry, finding this a little uninteresting as subject material. On a technical note, the focal plane is really narrow with only the lower central area being sharply focused.

Great shot. When I was in the Navy (7 years) my ship was lucky enough to go to the yards on Harbor Island so I got to see this view everyday for 15 months. I loved Seattle. Seems odd not seeing the old King Dome on right side of the frame now. Those were the good ole days!

Just read your description as well. I used to go to a couple of the bars on Admiral Way and do my laundry in West Seattle. Also met a girl and was with her for 6 years who was from there (W. Seattle).

I know exactly where this photo was taken from, and remember going there during Fleet Week years ago to watch some of the other Naval ships come in to visit. Again, great shot and I've added it to my fav's for nostalgic reasons in addition to the quality of the photo. Thanks for sharing it!

Hi, Critique Club here..

I really like this very powerful image. I think the angle to the tops gives it a very strong feel topped of by the monolithic sense that the Sun provides. The colors are fabulous!

I'm not a huge fan of HDR type images and have to admit the lightness of the near side of the tree looks a bit unnatural to me, but not what I would call over the top.

Not a whole lot more to say about this, particularly over 6 in the free study. If I has voted in this challenge, I probably would have given this a 7.

Lovely exposure on the sun and perfect perspective to make it look like it's perched atop the tree.
