It's a pretty fine mess, but I kind of miss the rule of third in this one. Did you try using a tripod for making the photo? Good luck!

congrats for the 3rd place!

Make that top 3 Love it. Good luck !

I also like the saturation & contrast effect, I think it improves what might be a flatting photo otherwise. One of my top 5 this week, good luck

it's a nice picture and i also like the desaturation, in my oppinion it add's some drama.

Great shot, but I'm not sure that the partial de-saturation does much for it.

really great

a great one!

Pretty shot. nice placement of the sun with good exposure

You image appears to have a vignette, I also feel you have lost too much detail in the shadows.

lovely capture

Great photo!

Always nice to see good 'rejected' photos turning up again.

beautiful

Really effective in Black and White

It is not required, but it would be really nice to post the unedited image/images in the SBS, so everybody can see what can be done.

You must explain why the subject is beautiful to you.

Are the yellowish dots on the wheel, urine?

It worked this time.

Simply beautiful work, nicely done

Wonderful find, and well done author, the detail in the wood is very nice...well chosen subject.

Really like this one. Keep it up.

Classic HDR, love it, nice wide angle

Very good shot, lovely tone mapping

Nice

nice one -- must be old as I sat in desks like this in a small town in Saskatchewan called Tantallon with two grades in one room

interesting and different. GL

No worries, there are so many rules, The border did look nice though.

Please read the rules for Photo contests, neither borders or signatures are allowed.
you will find them under 'Help'
Lovely photograph and welcome to the site.

Agree with enblanco,good stuff.Good luck.

I think it's a good entry and inside of the rules of contest. Good luck.

It's a good entry. My suggestion is that maybe if you stretched and pulled apart some of the letters to make it kind of blobby and more like the surrounding droplets...and also give a bit more contrast, this would be superb.

Great shot, shame the dog's not all in!

Nice composition, would have upped the contrast a tad..

very interesting shot....gl

cool shot author...gl

i like it

Source link doesn't work. Not sure if this is on theme according to contest guidelines.

Author...could you possibly provide a high resolution of this? I was really hoping to see one. Nice job so far!

Oh my gosh, lol, great work, this would be my nightmare if that was my child.

Good use of sources, well done result. Maaaybe you could desaturate the magenta from her shirt a bit, but that's up to you. Good luck!
