Truly doesn't need or deserve a border.

That "sharp2" at the end of the filename is likely what kills this for me. The halos just kill it and there's just too much fine detail. Coulda been a 7. It's not.

Sunrise - Bosque Del Apache

Would have been so much more effective if you decided to forego the landscape and crop in on the two cranes landing, or at least crop it to a landscape format instead of square. The purples in the sky are nice, but the cranes are the prize here.

In my top two. Really nicely exposed and processed. It would have been easy to overdo this one so you got bonus points. :)

Congrats and lovely capture, it was in my top 2. Curious, trigger or got lucky? You wouldn't lose points for the first. Ever since I bought a trigger 4 years ago we've barely got a decent thunderstorm. LOL

Homage to Ansel Adams

Congrats on the HM. You were in my top three, and while I suspect this photo's "homage to Ansel" took into account his zone system (something I believe works far better applied to color than B&W), I believe a treatment that brought some of the blacks to full black while also boosting some of the shadow detail would have made it my #1 as it's a very well executed exposure.

Three images stood out above the rest for me in this challenge - my 1 a, b & c. This was one of them and reminded me that I need to break out the drone again. Well done.
