I don't think I ever edited the photo less than this one. Only cropped ~5 pixels from the top to kill the sensor dust. USM 300/0.3 after resize.
Post-challenge: I am somewhat puzzled by the placement, given the competition. Oh well, I'll attribute it to different tastes of DPCers...

I gave this an 8. In comparison to what I usually get for scores to me this one scored pretty well but im sure you hoped for more. technically everything seems great. the clouds are beautiful, and the focus is great. especially on your arm. the only thing i dont like is that your head is cut off. but even if it were just your arms that would have been odd. i think it would have been much better without a person in it at all. hope that helps. :)
LOL, fun! Love the low down perspective and the inclusion of just that much of the model's head. Nice framing by the greenery and a fun and quirky idea.
