This is pretty cool. I never thought about using the foggy glass for making an image work.

I was surfing around and stumbled upon your page. This image initially caught my eye above all others. Beautiful capture.

I am surprised that this didn't score better than it did. It is a great photo and the use of duotones enhances the photo, as opposed to many of the entries that just converted a photo to dutone to fit the challenge. It is a shame the voters didn't appreciate your efforts more. It is still a nice score, but I think it should have been higher!

Well done Jackson,

Has a real exotic, middle eastern look about it. You wouldn't know it was from Pennsylvania. I like the fog and the blue

I agree- thought it was a rflection at first. A wonderful, magical image- should have place higher IMHO :)

So pretty and almost like an illusion. The blue makes this kind of look like a reflection in the water. Congrats on a great job!

Jeb, this is really lovely! I especially like that your duotones are not the typical b/w or sepia/white. Has almost an ethereal feel. Very well done!

Serendipidous condensation!

One of the (very) few shots I thought were worth the candle in this challenge, Jeb, thanks and kudos.

I find this image very appealing, except for the graininess in the darker blues.

Terrific fantasy feel to this and the blue is a great choice to emphasize that.

Nice image, but looks like some pixelation/something issues. Blue toning is nice, but I see traces of red, so not sure (for this Challenge). Fairly minor, but the symmetry seems out, but could be your intent. The gradient is nice - hopefully natural, 'in image'.

This is very serene. I think it needs something extra in the composition to give it a bit more interest.

Looks mysterious and mystical.

don't really know how to rate this one. On the one hand i like the feel and presence it has. I like the range of tone and the color, but... I just feel like it's toooo surreal, if that's possible. almost like it's not even a photo. I'll give it an 8.

A terrific subject and wonderful framing, but the technical issues are very distracting.
