Atmospheric Refraction

This photo has potential to be very nice. It appears to be over adjusted on my screen leaving it with a very unnatural look, dcp voters don't tend to like that so I think you will suffer because of it. I have not checked but it feels like the image is lower on the right hand side so maybe it needs straightening as well. Nice choice of shot!

Hmmm a bit oversharpened in my opinion.

Where's the refraction? I see reflection but no refraction! Not a bad shot though.

DPC is certainly the place to look sharp. Anyone who has been here very long understands that an image has to be sharp sharp sharp not to get trashed in the scoring. I don't know what editing techniques were actually used here, but I have the impression that there was quite a bit of sharpening. My impression is that this is the first time I have seen a picture of oversharpened clouds. It grabs my attention but it looks far too unnatural. As part of a workflow that would end in some paint effect, perhaps this level of sharpening might be a good idea. Finally, I think ignoring the rule of thirds on the horizontal axis hurt the photo a bit.

It looks a bit overprocessed to me...

the sky looks like it has been over cleaned by some noise cleaning software, and the horizon is a bit tilted, but i still like the shot

This photo is very bring IMO. The challenge is Low Key. "Low key describes a mostly dark image, with few highlights. Photograph a shot that's low key this week" Good luck in future challenges.
