if you don't want people to like what you do, keep it off the internet ;-)
maybe some day dpc will allow us to arrange our challenge entries, so you can pick what you want to see on your profile... |

I'd love to hang it in my house.. its breathtaking and brings me to a place in my mind that fairytales could be created from. This picture right here is what Ireland is in my minds dream. In fact.. this picture has inspired me to get to Ireland rather than dream of it. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations on a top ten image.. You are brilliant!!! |

Wow. What's not to like in this shot? It is worthy of the Best of '06 challenge, and I hope that it does well. The colors, depth, textures, and detail are all amazing, and while a bit over the top, it works. Good luck this week. |

Ah... looks like paradise really exists! What can I say? Awesome shot, awesome colors, awesome find!! Don't know, if I like the two people sitting there... on the one hand, they add depth and interest to the photo but on the other hand they "ruin" the perfect landscape. Anyway: 10! |

8 - Very nice. The blues in the clothing of the people match well. Maybe (if you had it), a little more height/sky may have given this even more of an edge, but perhaps just 'another image', if that makes sense. |

A superb view with an amazing sky! The post-processing here is just a tad over the top for my tastes, but did give it a surrealistic look, rather than reality. Still a gorgeous shot! |

Egads! What a fabulous job of processing you did on this one! Well executed as well, though the split sky is a bit of a distraction - makes one think that you used a polarizer on too wide a lens, but I'm not sure if that's what created that or not. << 9 >> |

On the left in the clouds, there appears to be some obvious burning edges.... Don't much care for the grey in the cloud on the top right, a bit more dodging might have helped that... The rest is pretty damned nifty though. |
