Good use of hue de-sat. Would work better in an advanced challenge as you wouldn't have the few pink artifacts. (7)

(only complaint is that I'd like a bit more sharpness, but that's probably in part due to the small size...that and the blue of the sky looks a tad off. Perhaps darken the blue a shade or so.)

Good composition and capture....tonality is a bit off. But this was obviously taken at night. So it's a challenge to keep that tonal feel.

So who said M was for manners....

I gave this a 4. Why?

I almost passed by without comment but realized this should score higher and fails to please for one reason in particular. The colors feel washed out. Like looking at a 70's print.

Just a little "hue/saturation" could really enhance this. I increased overall saturation. But especially yellow (to make the grass greener, yes you would think green would do it but yellow often works better). And red. I also hue shifted the red a bit to get a much more truer red.

It helps Mr. M stand out ;)

Hoo-rah!!!!

Great capture...only complaints is the weird bokeh in the BG and the fact that you couldn't get the entire lance. (8)
