Seems like it could be a teeny bit more crisp overall, but it's a nice macro nonetheless.

is that a really tiny cricket or a really big rose? Somehow this reminds me of James and the Giant Peach.

hey. you got screwed. seems like a lot of people didn't think this met the challenge or they just don't like this sort of artistic thing. I thought it was very well done and I liked your post processing. Keep up the good work.

That's a cool shot, but to me all the snow looks yellowish/orange. Was that deliberate? It has a warm feeling to it, and the "glow" in interesting. Not sure what effect you were after, though.

Looks like more than two colors the challenge said two. But a real good photo

nice capture, I like the tones you've chosen. Not high on the border, I think its a bit thick for the photo, but I love the old, hand done feel of this.

oh, i will, i will. great colors. perfect shot for a postcard or brochure (as you know). I would like to see this in full color because the golden snow throws me off a bit. Also, the feathered edges, and especially the visible line that looks blue on the left side and the one on the bottom right are pretty distracting. 9

I really don't care for the toneing choice here. Would have prefered b&w I think.

A very vivid pict. With these deep tomes, this photo looks almost like a graphic. I like the range deep rust to pale amber. The great swaths of white call out to the skier in me. The fram you chose doesn't add to the photo - I'd like just a plain, thin black or brown edge. I like the composition with the dark mountains in the middle, and down from that the diagonal sweep of the small foreground valley. I might have cropped the bottom of the frame where that diagonal meets the left edge. Very enjoyable. 7

Classic, and nice looking. I like the tone you picked for the Duotone. Very nicely done. I would maybe have tried to level it off slightly, it looks like th scenery is just slightly tilting to the right. Maybe thats just me though. I like your composition. Good luck! -8-
