Brilliant example of an OOB bench. Well conceived, captured and presented. Leading lines are terrific.

What a lovely bench! It almost appears to be floating in the light.

Brian
Have seen this photo now on 5 different monitors (after I voted)

On my monitor, and four others, it appeared the same, it looks overexposed.

On one monitor, the detail in the ice (was sand) came out, it didn't look overexposed, and the photo looked brilliant.

Which means
a) I need a new monitor
b) You probably didn't get the score it deserved as I think many people have the same problem that I had (the other monitors belonged to people ont his site who vote as well, so its not just me that has a shitty monitor)

Just wanted to let you know. Had I voted using the one monitor that showed the detail, this would have then been in the top few for me in the challenge.

Brian, this is gorgeous! I love how you brought it to life. You really did create a world all it's own with the way you chose to process this shot. I love that bird out there in the water too - that really adds a wonderful finishing touch. Congrats on the top 15 and a very nice score, too!
