 The scene of Donald Campbell's infamous, fatal attempt at the world water speed record in Bluebird.

Almost a pure out-of-camera shot with a little cloning to reduce some lens flare.
No NeatImage.
No artificial sweeteners.
Just nature - and a lucky gap in the clouds on an overcast day.

Rich, warm and so subtle. The colors and tones just carry the imagination away. A most impressive port with great artistic flare and technique.

Now that I read that your picture was "Almost a pure out-of-camera shot...", I am doubly glad that I gave it a 10. It is a beautiful shot and I really appreciate the photos that are great from the start without a bunch of tinkering. The lighting is perfection and gives it a magical golden glow. keep up the great work!

Wonderful light and composition. The highlights are just a bit too bright IMHO, but otherwise it's really fantastic.

Nice use of foreground elements to frame the shot and give a feeling of containment to the water. The hot spot in the right background is an unfortunate distraction.

Very nice composition, and a great soft feel to this one. There's a bit of lens flare on the right hand side, which you could have corrected given that this is an advanced rules challenge.
