		| I know it seems a bit over done and overly bright and colorful.  I suppose living in the desert makes you miss trees, rain/water, greenery, flowers, and most of all color!!!  Las Vegas neon lights sure are pretty but, there is nothing like color in nature.  I shot this picture at Tulley Springs, when I saw the reflection I got all gitty and decided that I would make it very colorful.  I suppose many disagreed with the look but, I suppose in my mind, that is exactly the way the colors should be.  Thanks for all the comments!!! =) |

		| It's clearly overprocessed but I really like the way it looks... except for the noise in the sky where it's dark blue. Should be easy to fix, though. |

		| Great scene.  The reflection of the sky is super.  The sky itself is a distraction because of graininess, off color, uneven gradient and smudgy areas.  Not sure the trees and grasses on the other side of the pond are completely in focus. |

		| Nice reflection shot, one of the best in this challenge. The tilt bothers me a lot though. I love the white clouds! |

		| Sky is a bit grainy, and the overall scene comes off to me a bit on the bright side. |

		| I think the less is more approach may have worked better with this image. |

		| I like the overall scene, composition and reflection. Too many blown highlights in the sky and noise in the blue from the processing. 5 |
