 This may end up being something too far out of the box as far as missing link. But here goes my logic...

The bridge was put there so people could cross over the creek. We've had a drought, so there is now no creek. The missing link? lol - the creek? Works for me.

Should be interesting to see how the score on this compares to my 4.6 dichotomy score.

I decided it would be fun if I could get more of an oil painting effect by using lots of dodging. I really like the photo so who knows how this will do. My guess would be that this is not a good literal interpretation of the challenge.

Score predict: missing

Well I got the link and I had loved the colours though I will admit that the lens flare in the top left had put me off a little bit. I did give it a 6 though and cant beleive that 44 people scored it 4 or less (sigh)

Anyway, If you need the creek filling just let me know, we have plenty to spare here!

I don't quite see the "LINK" on this one. There wasn't much written about what was to be expected, so no points docked for DNMC. I really like the shades of green.

0 = Poor, 0.5 = Fair, 1= Good, 1.5 = Great, 2= Perfection
Creativity = 1
Composition = 0.5
Lighting = 1
Contrast = 1
Focus = 1.5

Total = 5

It is a decent photo, but there is some emotion lacking which hinders the telling of the story a bit.

This is a bit sad, isn't it. Wonderful colors and lighting.

There's some wierd editing marks visible at the top left, and the top looks a little odd. When burning, I always try to use a large brush at low opacity, and paint with many small strokes to reduce visible editing lines.

Did you shoot this thru a car window, or is that area in the top left some flare on your lens? Certainly a very lovely location... Good luck in the challenge.
