My goodness this is gorgeous! I would have hit the 10 button in a heartbeat! It's so dreamy, and has a storybook quality that's timeless! I haven't gotten anything for that challenge either, but if I'd gotten this I would have entered it for sure!

i try not to second guess the voters here. you have produced something that i think meets all the criteria and you might have done very well with this. the soft high key and comp is spot on. if you have another similar - enter it!

Love the foggy/blurry feeling. I can see this as a lovely blank greeting card.

Wow! That's some stunning majesty! Living in such a developed area, it's hard to imagine this is in the same country. I really need to travel and see some of these things before I die.

I just LOVE how you processed this! It's so soft and pretty. The select. desat is perfect, and it's great how he stopped and posed!

Sandy, I feel exactly the same way you do and have also tried some 1 sec shots to no avail. Tomorrow I might try shooting my favorite waterfall again and see how that turns out. The unfortunate part about the 1 second challenge is we're not used to setting our exposure to 1 second and keeping it there. It's very restrictive and severely limits the possibilities. However, I think what you have achieved here with the snow geese is exceptional. I only wish I could manage something half as nice as this. I think it will do very well if you do decide to enter it.

how beautiful and how sandy this image is ..
it actually looks like two birds .. love the gorgeous colours and dreamy quality .. WOW . !!!
& its so hard to gauge whether the voters are going to like something .. i think a lot of brilliant works of art dont get entered for fear of them being totally unappreciated .. this is one of those images .. i have no idea how it would have gone ... but would not have been surprised to see it on the first page .. :)
just had a look at your other comments .. but from experience the opinions in the side challenges dont always mimic opinions/votes in a real one .. :)
