| Congrats on your score and I'm sure with different PP you would have scored even higher. Great scene though Brent! |

Thanks Penny :-) Well.....what I am embarrassed about is the processing. I spent about 3 minutes PP this image and it shows- I cringed when I looked at it posted and the voting had already begun. I lightened the shadows too much in the sculpture, there was no need to do this and it looks artificial. There was an airplane trail in the upper left corner (long exposure) that I cloned out but left a speck of at the corner of the sculpture and it looks like a nasty sharpening artifact. Some curve adjustments could have removed some of the atmospheric haze. I oversharpened the image and used a bad setting for USM that left an ugly halo around the sculpture and I even applied some sharpening after putting in the black canvas frame which gives it an unappealing halo too. I'm not embarrassed about the scene I captured (I slithered through bushes between a fence to get it), but the finer details of processing here are quite bad and nothing to be proud of. |

| Great shot! a bit too overprocessed... I would like to see the original uncroped, unedited version of this photo, still great work! |

| This is a beautiful place to take pictures. although it looks to me, although it may just be the computer im using, that there is a lot of editing dont to this. It actually seems a little over edited. Its nice to see a shot from seatle! Good luck! |

| Lovely shot. I think maybe some of the bottom could have been cropped to get rid of the distracting brights. |

| Nice catch, nice framing, like the composition. However, the main subject being the mountain, it's looks "flat" from the haze of the atmosphere. The foreground elements look sharper and better contrast than the mountain. There's a little bit of haloing around the art piece that frames the mountain too. This has great potential. I'm not a big post processor, so I couldn't tell you how to fix these critiques. Best of luck on the voting. |
