First glance made me think oh no, then I realized that the rotation really adds to the photo!

The contrast between the sharp focus of the curved lines leads my eye into and out of the 'blurry mess' and that makes this picture work very well for me. Perhaps a tighter crop eliminating the line from the lower left side over to the right side of the photos would not have drawn my attention away from the softening of the sharply curved lines radiating through the colorful rosemary. I also like the 'composure' of the the straight lines coming from the middle left side into the first and second of the curved lines going up and coming together at the top of the photo. Fun to look at and to ponder how did you do this?

The colors work well and I'm not so sure that I like the narrow depth of field though as its a little to busy for me... perhaps a shot from a lower perspective wit about 1/3rd of the building tops may have added a little wonderment, although that would eliminate the water that matches so well... Great colors none the less.

For the life of me I can't understand what that black area is under the Scuderia Ferrari is??? beautiful line are a given for most of those masterpieces... putting something attractive in front of the lens always helps make a better picture.

I've looked at your picture on 3 different monitors and it ISN'T clearly visable to me that you have extended the canvas size on any of them. I'm very careful to keep my Monitor calibrated and in synch with the printers I use. Being curious I used a copy of the picture and tweaked it a LOT! (gamma mostly) before I could even begin to see the original canvas size. I've been aware of the fact that many people do not use the same settings on their equipment and thus there are voters that do not see our pictures from the same perspective (for the lack of the proper terminology.)

Kudos to you for doing the right thing when you learned of the infraction.

There is no doubt in my mind that eyewave has the ability to produce excellent results in DPC! Perhaps working together on the "Olympics" league will be an excellent opportunity for you to learn even more from one another!
