The ice seems a little soft, but I assume that is from the heat distortion. Very nice. 7.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This picture seems a bit overexposed to me. The leaf lacks much detail and the ground scene does seem contrived - a bit outside of the 'serendipity' challenge, perhaps.

I like the intent of your photo and yes, it does mostly take me back to LoTR but in LoTR the ring wasn't found just sitting atop the ground like this. Perhaps if this ring were half buried, sitting in black mud and shining out despite all of that - then the connotation may fully be there.

Happy shooting,

Mav

deadly pencil falling from the sky! What's that mark halfway up the pencil?

Really radical perspective and good juxtaposition with tree branches.

I have no idea how this applies but it is a great shot! I hate voting on this sort of photo, I love the picture but you missed the challenge 6 or 7 Ill decide later.

A real 'how did you do that'imagr. Not keen on the border.

Comment by postoakinversion:
would get a better score if the challenge was called "perspective". border doesn't look good on top of the green tree. would be better without the overexposed clouds in the background.

Technically it's well done. Exposure right on - good focus on the pencil. But, the trees are distracting (out of focus.) My biggest problem is that it has little impact. The blue-line border does nothing for the image.
