>>I also see traces of overshaprening around masts against the sky on the right. Maybe you can bring it down a notch there.<<

You know what, I was too busy admiring the other parts of the shot I didn't even notice that. With this type of shot, you almost don't even need any sharpening at all. In fact, I'd probably mask over the clouds to leave the sharpening which would help emphasize the grain a little more and remove all sharpening from the boats and water.

But as you can see, the consensus is unanimous on this one. :-)

Oh, and if anybody says it is tilted, smack 'em. The land is creating the tilted illusion.

YES YES YES. I love how the grain from the sky meets the hill. It almost looks like a rain storm passing over from the sun's rays. Stop the editing and submit!

For any other challenge, I'd say sure, go for it. But since it's for the playoffs, I'd have to nix it. Even with your description, I'm hard pressed to see the LE and I'm sure the voters would be happy to score it low since it's not readily apparent.

So is your "city" Dillon, Frisco, or Breck?(all represented in shot) I used to live up off Baldy Rd. in Breck. Obviously you converted the water to green. ;-)
