Good Effort. I like the composition but 1) Watch the over-sharpening (white halos) 2) Watch blow-outs (White in sky) 3) Calibrate your monitor (seems a little dark overall If you send me an original after the challenge is over, I will attempt a different post-processing for you. 5

right idea, but the post processing is way overdone (maybe on purpose?).

This picture looks completely overly edited, and it isn't appealing to the eye.

This appears like it was drawn, or severely edited.

It looks like an interesting subject and well composed photo, but I'm not sure I like the effect that has been added. Sorry.

I don't like the processing on this image. I think rather than adding interest, it has taken the life from what I imagine was a very nice landscape.

Good composition but it looks to me as though there might have been too much post processing done on this shot...I can also see the halo on the tree which I'm not too crazy about.
