could be bigger in your composition, but I understand the collateral circles formed in dust and shavings. I like it.

very nice idea and execution. little more richness in the wood tones might have worked well.

it is very cool, did you do this on a tripod head, or rotate it handheld? that's a VERY straight line for handheld if that's what it is. ah, to be young and steady again!

Great work, I admire your thinking outside the fireworks box.

I'll have to trust you on the 'ugliest' building aspect because you've made it look beautiful. I love the sinuous lines and curves here, which are complimented by the gorgeous subtle hues and tones. It almost has a painted quality for me,I don't know why, but it reminds me of the work of Tamara de Lempicka? The more I study this the more I love it!

Gave you an 8 Papa. This picture coupled with the title made me chuckle. Always a good start. Great concept, great composition, clever use of the theme, appropriate dop coupled with an interseting scene. I am not sure how i feel about the sepia. I think i would have liked the touch of green from the trees. Could have used a tiny bit more tinkering with curves to tone down some of the white spots. One of my favourites in this challenge.

unique shot. I like the color treatment and DOF (not too shallow).
