after the voting ..


i thought this photograph was too boring to enter the challenge, but i reckon it would'v got a better score than 4.8 ..

advice to self in situations of extreme doubt ..
DO NOT process a photograph that you didnt even like in the first place
DO NOT process at 3am in the morning half asleep
DO NOT work on someone elses laptop that cant handle CS3 and crashes all the time and then reduces your intelligence and reasoning ability to zero from the stress ..
DO NOT then submit to the challenge when you actually feel uncomfortable and squirmy about the resulting score and in a hurry to catch a plane ..
DO NOT act on the advice of other ppl if your gut feeling is contrary to their glowing comments ..

I love your comments on this image! Words to live by, indeed. I've been bitten by all of those things at one time or another. I have the scores to prove it, too. ;-)

I think we both suffered from too many swans in the challenge. This is a great photo with the splashing water, the reflections and the wonderful colors from that swan.

Well, your post voting comments mades me laugh...good advice which I would do well to remember myself on occasion.

I guess its reassuring for someone like me to know that even great photographers can have their off shots. The funny thing is that this is nearly a great shot, I loved the suspended water coming off the ducks body. Strangely I actually prefer it on some levels to your outtake, which although technically is a better shot and I am sure would have scored higher feels like a very safe option, this however was an image that felt a lot more challenging

LOL!! Love your commentary. In a few months this will all be forgotten. I really don't think it's half bad, in a quirky kind of way. OX

Good capture of the water drops, the colours are kind of neat too.

I think that the picture quality has made the composition seem less strong..I like the effect on the water though

The impression I get from this is a night club performer - don't ask me why. Maybe the low light (which I like here) or the gold and red in the water that "sets the stage".

Nice freeze action shot. Good colors and saturation, but the contrast seems a bit high.

Nice capture, but looks like you did not have enough light to use this fast of a shutter speed

Cropped to close to see the results of the shaking.

I like that you were trying to capture the action. I wish there had been a little more light for you in this shot, there is some noise in his wings.
