I'm a bit behind in commenting, but here goes. I think this is great material for a wonderful image (as can already be seen from the thumbs of the processed versions).

I am no photo expert so my comments are based on how I feel about you picture, I hope they are usefull.

Interesting idea. But the picture - for me - is hurt by the lack of detail in the other ares of the picture, and the burnt out highlights. The circle appears to be around an object, but unfortunatly I cant quite see what that is.

Just spotted this one and as a devout "Pythonist", I simply LOVE it.

Great job in adding detail into the highlights and shadows.

Comment by Shmee:
Really great photo. The unprocessed shot is already awesome, and it's amazing what a few subtle changes can do.

Day 2 - Black and white

Comment by Shmee:
I really like your black and white! It's a lot different than most people, including I, edit for black and white. Usually people make the highlights, like the face, almost totally white, adding to the contrast. But I really like this...The less contrast makes it seem more real, and also sort of old, like I saw it out of an old photo album.

Day 2 - In colour

Comment by Shmee:
The blur really adds to the emphasis of the face. Also, I love the orange! It add some nice color contrast to the blue.

Man - you just have a wonderful editing touch. You just allow your subjects to stand out so well. Beautiful enhancements. Very very nice.

VERY NICE. Reminds me of a warm summer day at the lake until I see the snow on the dock. lol. The sun glare is really nice. Great job on this.

Is that the moon in the clouds or a reflection on the lens? I love what you have done with this :) and yes, the horizon did need a tweak now that I see them side-by-side :)
