It's postcard stuff alright, well done. Only thing I'd change would be to boost the saturation a little to bring out the colors more.

Very postcardy, and technically speaking a beautiful shot. The only thing that kept it at 9 and not 10 for me was a lack of a certain spung, that magic 'Wow!' spark. But I have to save 10s for *something*, right? :-> The colors are also a little washed-out-feeling. Maybe if the whole were a little richer, less bright and gleaming-white (drop the gamma correction slightly, maybe), it'd have topped out for me. As it is it looks a little like the photo's faded.

This sure meets the challenge. Looks like a postcard to me. :-) Good luck!

Nice picture in general, but a tad overexposed I think.

Wonderfull symmetry in this shot. I find the image way too washed out. You have wonderfull colours to play with and they're down played a bit too much. This could be fixed by playing with Levels in Photoshop or Histrogram adjustment in Paint Shop Pro. Still worth an 8. Jacko.

Could have been alittle less exposed but not a bad pic.

Looks a little too wide in dimension for a postcard, and looks like it could use some levels adjustment to get rid of that hazy look and bring out the colors.

Ovexposed - and since it is symmetrical, it should in my oppinion be perfectly symmetrical (the crop on the right and left to be identical)

This is hazy, and over exposed. Some type of filter (circular polarizer) or faster shutter speed...

I think this needs to be darker, I think the sky lets you down a bit here......

This seems like the brightness was increased a bit too much. I like the shot though and the text fits along great. It'd have been really neat on a windy day with the flags blowing. Overall this would be a great postcard, meets the challenge wonderfully, well done.
