A lovely capture and less um would have placed this in top contention. Backlight carries its own magic defining what is not normally visible therefore processing is hyper critical. However, the cgarm and strength of this image is outstanding. Congratulations on your 11th finish.
Cool backlight effect. Nice colors.
I could be wrong, but I sense oversharpening in here. The noise pattern in the out of focus area looks exagerated by the sharpening. Sharpening should be used in moderation in my opinion.
I think it's a side offect of DPC where super sharp photos wins more ofthen than soft photos. So it's hard to resist when comes time to apply sharpening to our photos. I understand that.
Oh this is lovely. I thought I was tired of flowers after YELLOW and then this popped up. It's quite unusual and I love the lavender/green theme. The perspective makes for very nice eye candy.Upping to 10 - I really think this is perfect.
Might be overprocessed. The white areas, caught by the sunlight, appear to be oversharpening artifacts. The important fact is I can't really tell. Lots of speckles and/or electronic noise.
