Slight crop, gamma and colour tweaks, some sharpening.

Wasn't too sure about this; seems to have done better than I thought.

On the other hand, I am astonied at the Posthumous Blue. Not only is it the 3rd Postie in a row, but now 3 of my 4 cameras have these cunning blessings, although one of them has since gone to its eternal rest.

Not at all clear where I can go from here.

Wow. I didn't even peruse the challenge so I missed this beauty! Pleased to see it receive the honors and accolades it so well deserves. Congrats on racking up the Posties, too!!

Thanks. Lovely comments. And 2 thingees! Once again it shows how little I know about how others see things. Nonetheless I will send Don just a little more chocolate (I can't believe he's finished the last shipment!) so I can get maybe a yellow ribbon for the 4th camera.

It's all downhill from here, I'm afraid...

PostLuminous Award Nominee!
Beautiful image independent of the challenge, and such a great challenge entry as well. Simple, calligraphic zen feeling.
(a 9 from me)

This is beautiful. I expected it to finish with a +6 score. It looks like a chinese character has been painted into your photo. Excellent vision on your part.

Simple perfection. As the famous Taoist monk once said, "my yoke is easy, and my burden light."

Posthumous Blue Ribbon.

I imagine this as a very cool fine art print, signed and numbered of course. Brilliant in it's simplicity and a visual treat. One of my ribbon picks.

You get an extra point for originality. Just wish the leaf going into the snow was more clear since that's where the eye goes, more DOF would have worked here.
