I love topaz but this is a little over the top. Nice composition and meets the challenge well.

Nice image, would like to see it full size - the clouds look a little over processed? The surreal feel works, though.

OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: An interesting scene - you have captured the bizarre juxtaposition of the themed cafe with the chilly waters and landscape beyond. Technically is is very well done - great light and coloration.

Critical stuff: Not too much really - I think you have gotten full value out of this scene.

Overall: A well executed rendition of a curious scene.

Nice colors on the buildings. I think the owners are a little confused... I don't think puffins are tropical...

I think a little less processing would have made this image less hard on my eyes. The concept is great, but it just isn't real for me. Sorry.

Interesting PP - seems to work better on the foreground. Nice use of the song title. 7

I love the shot, but the processing is very uncomfortable to look at. The shot would have been an 8, but the processing makes it a 6 -- sorry! I do love your color palette choice, however!
