Obvious that most of the color is photographer generated, but it is a good effect and a nice image. You've done a good job. Because you have made the background so interesting through the use of color, I'd recommend moving the cross left to the 1st rule of thirds horizontal line for more dramatic photographic effect. The cross leaning inwards toward a bright center would have metaphoric significance as well.

This is a beautiful and moody image. Interesting color and use of noise reduction (NeatImage?) software. The clarity and framing with the trees is very well done.

This would take some effort but you could make this a perfect shot by cleaning up the haloing around the silhouette of the building and trees. That task can be made very easy by first selecting black to include trees and building, reversing the selection and using the clone tool to remove the bright halo within the selection. Nothing will bleed over into the sihouette itself. You will not have to be as careful as you otherwise would have to be. Congrats on a great capture.

Well composed and the blues in mountains and clouds is outstanding. You will improve this image dramatically by cloning out the bright diagona streak across the sky. Done't forget the part in the upper left corner.

Ahhhhhhh... the Peter Iredale. Nice to see people out and about taking pictures of Oregonian historic interest. Decent DOF for the lighting conditions. Overall a very good image. I'd recommend darkening black some to remove a slight hue in the black resulting from slight color overprocessing.

Nicely done capture of a moment. Good quality. I recommend cloning out the jet contrail in the upper right.

Congrats on the 5th place finish. You keep inching upward close to the ribbons. Hang around that area long enough and one is sure to come your way.
