Very nice perspective and you picked a good high-contrast pair of subjects (fence and sand) that do well with b&w.

simply gorgeous - love the colors, love the light bursts, love the composition, love the quietness - would have given it at least an 8 had I got around to voting on the whole challenge (I only made it about 40% through...)

The editing on this one brings it to life for me. Interesting choice.

The colors are fantastic and I'm very surprised this didn't score over 6. Great composition and perfect lighting.

Oh, I didn't get to this during voting (only got about 2/3 done). It is beautiful. The colors are amazing. The golden starry lights are lovely. The rest of the voters seemed to agree. Woo hoo -- 2 faves. This would be really nice on a wall.

Great eye. I like this one. My only complaint would be to maybe clone the rail out on the bottom. It's a bit distracting but the subject does certainly make up for it. Nice work.

Dogwood

Comment by CNovack:
Wow! The post processing you did really brings out the details of the flower and really makes it the star of this composition. Love the textures you can see on each individual petal of the flower - one can almost reach out and touch the softness. Love the details of the background environment that this dogwood flower exists in. The surrounding nature is lovely and it does not overwhelm or detract attention away from your main subject. In fact it greatly complements it. Tones and contrast are absolutely wonderful in this shot. I really don't have any suggestions on how to improve or any critiques on this one for you did a fabulous job.
