Don't even begin to try and compare yourself to that Chancellor guy. His entries make no sense. This was an interesting experiment on your part, but I think this one performed in the mid 5's due to the processing choices.
filter adds some nice mood but stops short of a "foggy" image. would like to see it taken a step or two further out. you are right not to go "straight up" on this as it would be boring. hope you do well.
My least favorite of the 4 bridge entries. It feels over processed in HDR to me, and just doesn't have the impact of the prior images. It was a very interesting experiment that you did with one subject and 4 different edits in back to back challenges. Thanks for making me think about entries, subjects and voting. I always like to have my thoughts provoked.
