The color contrast (red vs green) and composition are perfect for this shot, as is the background choice. I love it.

Composition - Obvious the line of sugar is our leading line. When I think of leading lines I think more of scenic places that end with "scape", but lines are lines. What I see as the most effective thing in terms of the composition is how you somehow made the sugar really contrast with very effective lighting. The left side is total white out and the right side has parts where its almost completely black. This is really an extraordinary line. But looking at it, it seems so simple but I would never in a million years be doing this, on purpose and make it so effective. I think if you would've lost the little white thingy in the bottom right corner you'd have earned yourself another ribbon. Your creativity is unbounded!

Technical - Perfect exposure. "Crystal" clear, great color (artificial or not)with an awesome gradient type background. Darn near perfect. 'nuff said!

Overall - Tremendous shot. A strong second in my book. (I really think the winning shot is deserving). Love the picture though. Your creativity is really in a class by itself Jacko. And the other part that goes with it is that you know how to put it in print effectively. Great Job! - Bob

Speeding Through the Covered Bridge

This looks like you were holding the camera as you moved through the bridge. I like the idea, though there's a bit too much 'motion' visible here. The only staionary portion of the photo is the bar along the top, and to me that makes this photo a bit dizzying. I'm not sure how that could be corrected and still have the effect, but that's what strikes me about this photo.

Very nice motion effect! Point of interest at the end of the tunnel with the car as well. Nice job! Keep it up!
