Why did you have to waste such an amazing photo on the wrong challenge? Don't even bother with the competition; show this off wherever you can!

Final Wink of the Day

The blackness at the bottom of the photo seems like wasted space. Cropping it out would but the line of symmetry between the bridge and the reflection at the center of the picture, emphasizing it.

Must have been some extreme curves/levels you applied. Looks more like a concert poster than a photograph. 5

Barb-ie

A lower angle shot would have helped here by placing the barb wire against the contrasting sky rather than the similarly colored ground.

Excellent, excellent photograph. Like the end of a movie.

I saw what looked like oversharpening of your friend, but it looked intentional to me and it's used to really good effect.

Congratulations!

City in the sky

I would have picked a different title; maybe something that references H.P. Lovecraft's "island in a sea of ignorance" or Nietzsche's "When you stare into the abyss." But that's just me being morbid.

Oh right! The picture: I like it Getting the water and sky closer to an inky black would have made it perfect in my opinion, but again, I like stark pictures. 7

Great action shot, but the most impressive aspect is the detail in the waves. Amazing!
