| Hmmm ... what's left of that guardrail doesn't augur well for a safe passage. |

ok, this is a very difficult challenge to vote, both in its size, and because it is a 'best of' for a whole year.
i really, really don't mean to be harsh, but please consider this. this is a challenge site, where the purpose of the challenges are to win votes, and that is done by submitting images that will favorably engage the viewer/voters. (granted, sometimes people try to go in the other direction, but that is usually by choice.) when i look at this image, i can see that you have decent equipment and that you a somewhat proficient at post-processing. what i can't understand is why you would pick this image, out of all the images you took last year, to represent your best. i just don't get it. i can understand the sentiment of the title, but all the same, i have a hard time believing that there is not another image in your portfolio that would have scored better than this.
i truly hope you realize i am not saying this to be mean or to try to hurt your feelings. dpc is a great site, and it has made a monumental impact on my photography. but, i have learned the hard way that there is a huge difference between getting good feedback on an individual portfolio image, and entering a vote-getting image. it took me a long time to be able to separate myself from my entries, and to accept a challenge for what it is.
i have no doubt that you have what it takes to be competitve, and i wish you the best for this and the challenges yet to come! |

| hehe - did you set this up or just catch it. Think the selective desat works with the sign here - not so sure about that patchy green/grey grass. Also like the title. |

| Overall a technically sound photograph that could be used for an advertisment. I like your choice of saturation adjustment. |

| This is not a lot in the photo that I find interesting. The trash in the lower left corner is a bit distracting. |
