for godsake look at it!
ok it has a bit of photoshop on it but that's what digital images are for and you have to admit that the position the photographer chose was great. |

exceptional photo. who cares if it's post processed? the finished product is amazing. rediculous in my opinion for someone to say that this didn't deserve the ribbon because of post processing. learn photoshop. then you won't be jealous.
great job on this wonderfully poetic image. i would have given it an 11 |

| I have to agree with Miah on this one. It's an OK shot but without the editing it was nearly completely bland. |

| Wonderful colors and sense of desolation. Great lighting as well. There appear to be some signs of civilization in the bottom right which diminish the "desolation" aspect. Even so this was one of my top picks this week. |

| Even though this picture is clearly not in a tropical area the first time I looked at it the colors reminded me of the bahamas or another carribean area. The sunlight that encompasses the tree really makes this picture magnificent. I especially like the two colors of the clouds. Although I guess you can take credit for that! |

| That's a VERY good picute! Love the colors. Personal taste - maybe back off just a bit (more negative space around the tree) and move to your right (if available) to catch more of the hills (and less of the town lights). If that wasn't possible, oh well. This is one of the most striking pieces I've seen here in a while. Hands down winner!!! 10 Rob the Swash (I guess now I'm going to have to vote so this counts!) |

Awesome contrast between the warm yellow light on the tree and the cool deepbue to underwatergreen of the sky. The dark profile of the horizon takes the eye across the photo.
The warmth of the presumably death three is also in stromg contrast with the almost desolate landscape.
Excellent. |

| Beautiful colors and well focused. Seems a bit over-sharpened, but that may be the monitor I'm using (not my calibrated one at home). Conveys desolation well. I wish there was a bit of space to the left of the tree like there is to the right. |

As soon as I can, I'm adding this shot to my favorites -- this will be only the second picture to make that list. Congratuations. If you don't ribbon, I'll be surprised. |

| An absolutely gorgeous photo, beautiful lighting (presumably the tree is lit by a very nice sunset), great range of colours in the sky with very effective saturation. Nice horizon. Unfortunately, it doesn't really communicate desolation to me, as all the colours are so rich (especially the gold light on the tree). However, score = 8 (10 for a suitable challenge). |
