i really really liked the colours in the unedited version roger ... i like the shapes and movement in the b&w tho ...... so both win, but in different ways!!

at first i thought you may have overdone the drama ... so i went back to the original and then back to this one again ... you've done a very dramatic processing on this one and now its grown on me ... i have totally changed my first opinion ... the contrast of the blue in the sky and the yellow/green on the land really works ... this one just about hurts my eyes ... nicely!!!!!!!!

absolutely love this photograph ... love the composition and the way it sort of dips down in the middle with the fence posts so subtle .. love the sunlight highlighting the trees in the mid ground and on the plain in the distance .. fantastic that mountain in the background and that beautiful soft pastel sky ....
a winner here roger ..... excellent ....

just noticed the thread 'got a featured photo' .. cant work out if its sposed to be your worst foto or worst score ... well wotever .. you got a totally crap score on this one shez, but i really like the image .... i personally feel it should'v done heaps better in the challenge .... if i got $1 for every time i said that i'd be a millionaire ... well not quite yet, but i'm working on it!!!!!!

out of the four i've just seen i like this one and the elephant the best ... the others are totally awesome, but this one and the elephant have that certain something ....... but hey, coming from me that could be virtually classed as an insult .. my free study that i thought'd go so well is currently sitting around 5 .. it started at 3.9 .. ouch!! ...
my contre-jour which i thought i'd get my first blue ribbon for is on 6.1000 ... the blue ribbon bit is a joke by the way ... but thought it'd go a bit better than it has ...
i reckon both of us are due for that elusive blue ribbon shawn .. you've done some awesome work ... glad you're feeling inspired now .......
