I'm pleased with my "splash" result, 25th isn't bad for a novice !!!!
Thanks for the comments. I know the crown of the splash wasn't quite sharp enough, to be fair it was raining very hard and my camera was getting wet so I hurried the shot - big mistake I know - but it's all part of learning I suppose

I truely don't appreciate grasshoppers. Maybe it was the fact that every other show was some insect on a flower, but I gave the 1st place a 6. Second and third were in my top 5, so I can vote properly. My favorite came in 72nd place:
I like the contrast of the focus weather man and the blurred unbrella. Also, great expression.
Another I thought was very powerful:

Yep, agree entirely, it's a great shot. I'll never understand why 11 people gave it a "1". |

This shot had my top score. Great image!!!
I think the fact that it looks highly processed hurt it a bit though. I didn't vote for it until I saw that it had been "certified." ;) Great use of your zoom! |

I too rated it much higher than many of the pics that finished above it. |

Thanks for the votes!
As far as looking "highly processed" do you mean because of the zoom effect?
This is pretty close to being straight from the cam.
I did add about 5 adjustment layers but they just helped make it pop more and really didn't change the look at all.
It was at night and my wife was backlit by a high pressure sodium light - the reflection off of the wet street is the yellow glow.
And your welcome, Rina.

My top 5 looked like this:

Guess I was looking for evidence that rain was actually part of the experience for the photographer. |

rswanks,
I had no clue how you did it when I looked at it. Since we don't see the comments during the voting, I couldn't think of a way that that could have come straight from the camera. Maybe the curve/twisting in the zooming is what threw me off. Plus the sharp streaks of light. I just skipped it at first and then came back and saw the verification. Then I gave it the high score it deserves :)

Don't feel bad Scarlet. Mine had a similar theme (not as well executed) and did a whole lot worse than yours. ;-)
Congrats on your PB. Very nice work! |
