Didn't see this one until now. Beautiful shot. Love the gold toning and DOF! Really nice piece, Michelle! :) It really should have done much better but, you've got a shot that you can hold your head high with! :)

Clear, crisp, interesting and well done.

I think a lot of people expected the typical scenery/waterscapes that DID grace the front page ribbons but, I think this was a brilliantly done shot! Pat yourself on the back for it! :)

Congrats on the score, Steve! Of course, I thought that this should have ribboned. :)

There's NOTHING wrong with the composition! It's wonderful as is! I think that's what grabbed a lot of higher scores. Look at the 7's, 8's, 9's and 10's that you got! :) It's a tremendous shot and well done...in spite of some of the challenges that you say you faced in the smoothing of the sky. I think you did a wonderful job on it and I love it! :) Going to fave it now :)

Judi, I actually thought that this was an very interesting shot and angle to have taken it from. The processing seemed a little "off" on it but, now that you've explained that it was done on a laptop, I can understand how it went this way. I do all of my editing on a laptop simply because I don't have a desktop nor, an LCD monitor and I can say that my photos have been not doing well because of it. I simply cannot see the blow-outs or noise that others see in my shots on LCD or LED monitors. :(
