Thanks for the ribbon. To bad you got DQed for a wrong set date. I gave you an 8. (no 10s and only one 9) so go at it again.

Thanks again. Looks like a DQ made me do the cut. (though i was 0.007 points away from the ribbon anyway)

Who gave this a 1??? ans a 2??? Of course things could be done better but does 8 or 10 make such a big difference?? Its a wonderful shot in many aspects. I understand if some people like it less than others but a 1??? It couldnt be beacouse of missinterpreting the motive landscape???

People who give 1-3 should HAVE to give a motivation to make the vote count.

Congrats, anyway.

Thanks for all good critics, glad you enjoyed it.
Lots of people think that I have used selective saturation or adjusted channels, but this is how it looks in reality, although auto contrast showed the true colors as the shot was taken a very clody day and the original histogram showed only app. 2-3 stops.

This is my first entry in DP-challenge so a 4th place is really nice (a ribbon would of course been a better start, =) I would just have neededa 0.007 more...

Tried a lot off differnet crops, but without the water reflection it just lost a lot.

Thanks everyone.
