The branch look nice but is a little annoying due to it being a little low. Otherwise a great image.

I think the post-processing on this works much better with the middle and background more so than with the tree branches. While they work compositionally, I think they are rather distracting the way there were processed.

Beautiful -- you have next year's Currier & Ives xmas card. Love the processing. Congratulations on the top 10 placement. Don't understand why the average didn't come out higher, when you had no low scores at all.

The branch would make a great frame, except that it encloses only a part of the shoreline and leaves out the refelction and larger body of water. Nice exposure, lighting and definition.

Well done, I enjoyed this during voting. Much better than my abstract with Post-its.

Nice scene. The tree is a little too intrusive. I think I'd like the shot better shifted to the right so that the tree was more of a frame than a third of the picture.

though I like the shot and I like HDR the colors in this are taken a bit to far...if it was just a touch softer

Well, I could go on and on (and usually do :-), but suffice it to say that this is simple, elegant, beautiful in tone, texture, color, shading, shape, form, composition.

The fact that it was done with post-it notes matters only for the challenge qualification--but this image stands apart from any challenge limitation, and no reference to post-its is needed to appreciate it, no explanation is necessary or value-added in that context, as it could diminish the pleasure of contemplation.

Thank you.....
