On vacation in France. Found this little corner that sums up the scenery everywhere I look on my motorcycle rides.
Working on a dull LCD display and had to compress the hell out of this shot due to a dial up modem. Hope the tones are OK...
Using a gaussian layer for the bloom and to enhance the natural color. Although, the image loses some punch when not looking at the detail in full size.

Wow this is an amazing shot. The flow of the water is the first thing that grabs my attention. What an wonderful corner of the world. The overall image is just prefect. The coloring, lighting and composition are all at the best level possible. A very well deserved top 20. I think the people at this level are just competing between what the voter likes best in appearance because the quality is so amazing. I love to see breath taking shots like this. I wish I had more critiques for you but this just an excellent job!
Wow, amazing scene!!! The motion of the water looks fantastic, and you've done a great job with the composition. The eye is lead all the way through the photo. Well done!
