Hello from the Critique Club,
An amazing capture and one in which I would have never guessed how it was achieved in a million years. My favorite aspect of the image is the textured appearance caused by the waves. The clarity of the sky to pick up that much detail in the water must have been a joy to view.
As for your score, I think the comments you received during the challenge sum it up pretty well. Many people were fooled by this shot and thought it was a bit over processed. However, I think your scored suffered more from the weak tie between the challenge topic, the subject, and your title. The image doesn't really convey a bright light and I am having a little difficulty relating your title to "Famous Last Words". With the large number of 4 votes you received, you were lucky to score in the 5's with this image. Luckily there were quite a few voters that appreciated the image on it's own merit to counteract some of 4's you received.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.
Tim

Though it is real. Get on a plane. Hold a polariser up to your eye and look out the window. That's really what it looks like :)
(I do know sort of what you mean but I have the same issues explaining it)
It is real. It just looks very unnatural, even though it is entirely natural.

Thanks, Gordon, for teaching me what a polarizer can do. I would've voted higher had I known, but I'd still say it's a little too colorful for a purely photography site. I don't know how to explain it better, but I'm looking for some realism in photos. But as I said during the challenge, as an art piece it's very pretty. :)

Weird, I can't tell what it is...
But it's clear and sharply focused, and the colours and pretty, so I guess it's cool. :) |

| It's pretty, but too much like digital art to me. Would probably make a nice print, though! |
