We're supposed to vote low on entries that are not photographic in nature. I like the picture, but I'm not sure that it fits the spirit of the Expert Editing ruls as I understand them.
Interesting processing. The foreground is too busy for me, it takes attention from the landscape/horizon which should be the main focal point of the picture. I would crop it square, leaving the upper part of the picture.
Excellent composition and I really like the perspective. Not sure on the editing, but I do like the picture, and I guess the editing contributes to that!
personally, for me the processing isn't really appealing ... I'd love to see this shot the way the camera recorded it ... I like the subject and the composition ...
Interesting 'postcard' effect, the sky seems too greenish on my monitor.
Generally a good adventure into more dramatic processing w/out going overboard.
