Comment by Gauti:
too much, or rather, too obvious post-processing. halo around the trunk and discolourations on the sea on both sides of the trunk. nice sky though and creamy sea. the textures of the trunk are also nice. but on the whole it's too much for me. a more subtle approach might please me more, but in the end this is your photo so do as you please.

Nice job, very surreal looking. I really like the way the clouds look. 8

Wonderful processing, either that or a fantastically timed shutter. Excellent shot here.

Lovely gradations of tone in the sky and all through the photo. The tree is interesting in form and the whole image has a painterly effect.

Love the eerie sky.....and the effect it gives one in this striking image. One of my top picks for this challenge, as it is so dramatic, and hope this one ribbons.....My first "10".....

Comment by Ragga2000:
IMHO a perfect picture - the colors are STUNNING.... the pp is great... - 10
....second look added to my favs.... :o) personally I think the pp suits perfectly here, maby because it is rather oobvious and I think it goes with the mood of the picture... love it.
