wow must have cost u a day to get these values right
(actually i think this overinfo is kinda defacing this page)
but no kiddin this is a beautiful&serene picture
how this missed a ribbon I'll never know - amazingly sensative in tone and composition. 9 from me (highest score among ribbon picks) and a favorite during the challenge :)
This is another photo that keeps creeping up the ranks, as it improves each time I look at it. I love the light against the darkness, and you have good clarity on the white puffs. Composition works well.
8 - Nice image. A fraction off the bottom may have accentuated the nice oof pattern at the top and helped it come into play more, but perhaps you preferred the black areas at the bottom, which are still a nice element, in my opinion. Toning works well.
Beautiful - sharp and focused, and well-isolated, with nice bokeh. I don't know how to explain how such an image conveys "still", but at least in my opinion you achieved it here.
