Trading Post - Nice and simple shot here. Great gradient in the sun but overall not alot of wow factor to this (but then would alot of wow be zen?). The sky is a bit noisy. Using a noise reduction filter or even some blur to reduce that would have helped out. Mayeb tweaking the colors a bit to bring out more than the gray could have helped as well.

Way underrated. I think this was the color choice to go with. The other versions are nice as well but the greens just feel better. You should have scored and placed much higher.

I really expected this one to place much higher than it did. I saw your score in the thread and was surprised in challenge as I knew which was yours. Your outtake is excellent as well but the hand placement in your entry has the overall better feel. Very nice work and I believe the most underrated of the challenge.

Beautiful and serene shot. Nice subdued colors and the fog just works great. An overall nice feel to this shot and I am surprised to not see it break 6.

Very nice shot Deb and another 6+ score. Great composition and layout of the trees. The colors are nice as well. A bit sharper on the trees could have made this a bit better maybe. Great work though (and you beat me again).
