Terrific detail and very effective message. I can't even find a nit to pick.
A top ten entry in the challenge for sure.

What can I say - a top ten entry in this challenge.

On the edge
by jnenvir

Comment:
Delightfully whimsical imagery. The font was an unfortunate selection as it interfers with the sand and looks incomplete - the same font in a full bold or solid would have helped a lot. The font color is fine and works well with the rest of the image.

Park Rapids, MN

Comment:
A busy image and not very well focused - it's really a DOF problem. The font and color are difficult to read. this might have worked better if taken in large format .jpg or RAW and cropped to center on the birds.

Twisp Washington State

Comment:
I was trying to think of where Twispwa was, then I got it. :>) Missing a comma. A nice image, interesting lighting and fairly well detailed although a bit uninteresting.

The Emerald City

When reviewing competitions like this, city scapes seem to be the thing to do and it's hard to view another image and stay fresh while reviewing so that you give the authors a fair shake. Then up comes a fresh treatment of a city scape and you are renewed. This is one of those images that, while similar to the others, is very different in how it was handled. The reflections are perfect and compliment the light and structures in a pleasing way. The subtle change from brilliant colors to pastels on the water is very pleasing to the eye. The font is good, the color might have been a little more subtle to compliment the image. Well done.

City by the Bay

Comment:
A terrific image with contrasting color and tone. Very effective treatment of a city scape. A proper font and color for this would need custom treatment to compliment the image itself.

Columnated Street Jarash
by HighNooner

Comment:
Another excellant treatment of an iconic area of the world. Lush greens and yellows only serve to compliment the earth tones of the columns. The font is a great selection to compliment the columns. Well done.

Monument Valley
by Zeus

Comment:
Yes it is Monument Valley and one of the best treatments I've seen in a while. Excellant font selection and placement. A perfectly saleable image for a post card. Well done.

Tacoma, Washington
by Photomouse

Comment:
The image has a soft focus which works - maybe a by product of HDR processing? the image is effective though and that is a plus. The bottom border is well executed, but detracts from the image. If the image were sharper, it wouldn't be as distracting.
