Congrats, Marac, well done! Still think it's too dark, like the processing of the outtake better, too.

I bet this would be a beautiful photo ... even without over processing it. To me, it's just too "unreal". The greens are over saturated, the water and grass are both over sharpened. The sky and clouds are too dark. (hint: generally any kind of reflection will be darker than the original, especially reflection off of a water surface, because some of the light is lost - but in this image, the reflection is brighter than the sky)

Turn the processing down just a bit and it'll do fine.

Oh ya, I like your blue ribbon shot a lot better. There's more separation between the guys & bikes in your other one. This is still awesome! Congrats!
