I know it seems a bit over done and overly bright and colorful. I suppose living in the desert makes you miss trees, rain/water, greenery, flowers, and most of all color!!! Las Vegas neon lights sure are pretty but, there is nothing like color in nature. I shot this picture at Tulley Springs, when I saw the reflection I got all gitty and decided that I would make it very colorful. I suppose many disagreed with the look but, I suppose in my mind, that is exactly the way the colors should be. Thanks for all the comments!!! =)

It's clearly overprocessed but I really like the way it looks... except for the noise in the sky where it's dark blue. Should be easy to fix, though.

Great scene. The reflection of the sky is super. The sky itself is a distraction because of graininess, off color, uneven gradient and smudgy areas. Not sure the trees and grasses on the other side of the pond are completely in focus.

Nice reflection shot, one of the best in this challenge. The tilt bothers me a lot though. I love the white clouds!

Sky is a bit grainy, and the overall scene comes off to me a bit on the bright side.

I think the less is more approach may have worked better with this image.

I like the overall scene, composition and reflection. Too many blown highlights in the sky and noise in the blue from the processing. 5
