Boy, I had a feeling this was yours, Robert. Nice shot and nice treatment. Not the best in the challenge obviously, but definitely a likeable image. I gave it a 6.

would score higher if the birds were more in focus than the boats

the combination of the photo plus whatever filter you applied is too wierd for my personal tastes... imo the foliage looks decent, the boats are pink tinted and the ducks look like theyve been cut and paste-d on the water.

This is lovely. Looks like East coast. Would you mind telling me what tool you used to get this soft but focused effect? I have Photoshop and I know it has this ability, but don't know which or how to use it, do you.
Nice textures and colors - 9

this is a very pleasing image but it has a certain look about it, a softness or glow, that makes it appear heavily processed; and the birds (geese) are a very small part of it's impact

Nice composition. Almost looks a little too oversaturated to me though. The colors don't seem quite right.

There seems to be such a strange halo around the two geese - I don't know if that's because of an effect filter or because you've selectively processed the water/ birds etc. The whole thing feels soft too so maybe it's all down to a soft focus filter (not a fan myself). I like the composition but the processing doesn't work at all for me.

A bit heavy on the red. Softness works well here.

your focus is off, not sure if that was intentional as the geese are a bit blury. Nice composition though.

Based on the exposure and the center of focus, I'd say that this were an entry in a boats challenge. It's a nice boat picture, but the odd color cast does make it feel somewhat artificial.

Good pic but looks a bit overprocessed (especially around the birds)

IMHO the boats seem to dominate the photo. Very nice clolrs

Neat colors. It has an autumn feel to it! Which looks WONDERFUL to me living in the Texas HEAT!! I really like the composition of this. Good job.

Boy, if this isn't a postcard!!! Looks like something you'd buy in a gift shop. Very nice. Love the boats and the soft focus.

A lot of colour balance,or saturation, if I hide the background the birds look good, mybe you should have just selected the birds and saturated first,imo....6
