Thanks for all the great comments everyone, I was happy to see I placed well. I don't think I should have used the frame. That was a bad idea. I was thinking about making it a print. I would remove the frame first. I had an 8x12 printed out yesterday w/o the frame and it is excellent.

Thanks again,
Travis

Congrats on your top 10 placing Travis with this very nice photo.

The first thing that strikes me with this photo is the frame. Some people may like it but I really don't and think it detracts a LOT from the photo. I gave this photo an 8 in the challenge but it would be a 10 without the frame, as it is part of the presentation and should be judged as part of the photo in my opinion. Not only the frame, but the bevel on the actual photo makes it look quite 'tacky' in my eyes. As far as the other post processing goes, I think it is very well done, with nice sharpness, and the contrast not to strong, as to give a misty early morning feel. I think the crop may be a bit too narrow. It makes the photo look quite small and I would love to see more detail at the top of the frame, and perhaps a little less at the very left. This would improve the detail you'd be able to show.

All in all a very good photo fully deserving it's top 10 placing.

Very nice. If mine, I would have it hanging on the wall. I'm surprised that you didn't get any ones because of the frame. That says a lot for your capture. Great job!

Personally I'd prefer they were riding into the frame, but it's a lovely shot anyway.
