LOVE IT....like the ray of sunlight atop, the blue is crisp well saturated and it is so well centered. Top marks!

I think this image could improve without centered crop...keeping the men in boat to the right with more room for them to float into would help...however, that is strictly artistic prerogative and I bow to yours.

Love the patterns and the focal pop is perfect. Nice silhouette.

Lovely Zen like calming image. You do have some ghosting around the tree branches and a fair bit of noise. That orange reflection of the sun is placed artistically on the branch making it look like a burning bush errrr branch.

Sort of peacefull look about this,would level horizon a tad though

Congrats!

Congrats Adam, it's a great shot, worthy of Photo Exhibition material

like the title in this and a well seen photo this

The curve of the distant landscape together with the trees combine well,well seen and taken photo

Simplistic subject but done well

All I hate: running and fog :-P

I agree with photonut, there are many things to look at this picture: motorcycle, bike, taxi, monument, statue, street scene... this photo could have participated in multiple contests

yes I would crop them as well

I guess due to the smog in your area you are staying indoors and going through your stock of images. I like this one too, the focal point, the title, simple and strong following the KISS principle nicely.

Not only is the POV grand but I like the heavy saturation on this one, it is an OH WOW image.

What is especially nice in this sharp photo are the ghost like people shrouded in the mist as the side. The is also Photo Exhibtion material

I do think this is Photo Exhibition material and your title rocks!

I think we need a "from behind" contest. I like the exotica of this photo, technically sharp, has anyone mentioned those wires yet?

I love images like these that take us to faraway places and show us lives of others. This image has a lot going for it ....the colours and the absorption of the people into their work....they are oblivious of you and we get treated to see them au naturel, not posed.

sharp sharp sharp as a woman's tongue...What do you think about those red reflections at the base of the image....do they weaken the overall shot or add to it. I personally would have cropped up to get rid of them then there would have been no visual competition for the viewer.

Nice bucolic shot. Have you tried blending in a cloudy sky into the image by way of layers?

This is such a pleasure to view, it is full of excitement , warm glows, and your point of view rocks. You were walking on water to get this shot.

This would have done well in the blow out contest too. Nice high contrast image but you seem to have banding in the sky. Banding happens when in post processing you push the values too high. I like the two focal points acting like mirrors, each boat playing off the other.

Really strong image this and really like the angle in this one

like this one,but think b/w would be better and would crop some of each side to make much more of the focus on the couple

Think there is to much going on in this one,needs to be more of a focus on one point

again a good display photographed well

nice firework display,reminds me when I went and one of these displays many years ago

Well nice one this,like the whiteness behind the boats

Top notch.

I'm not sure how this photo, as interesting as it is, demonstrates the idiom

"glistens"

Certainly an idiom,but not sure that suits this image as such

yes do agree with olga on this one,tighter crop would be better

Funny enough I disagree with olga,think it would have better had they both been working,but that aside I still like it

I think a bit of a tighter crop at the sides would have enhanced this photo, although the "gold" does titillate. You have fantasticated this image well with exposure and saturation.

A heartwarming shot and the fact one of the fellows is looking at us (you) connects us more closely to the photo.

Like the darkness of this which frames and highlights the good pieces which are delicious eye candy.

Bwahhhhhhhh I know that phrase and this upload really shows the fuss. A great idiom and great image.

Well done Adam

Congrats Adam

My better half and me think this is photo exhibition material Adam!

Yes, it's a nice site but rather narrow minded as they do not give free breathing room for photos/art such a dog meat...on another site anything goes. It is what it is...and best of all it is free with nice prizes, just wish more people would review.

I like the marginal space at top, glad you didn't crop too much.

HOLY GUACAMOLE....top marks.

Minimalism, strong in b/w, artistic too. I think a bit more detail may be needed in that rock wall.

Mmmmmm, I love the story here, it adds to the rural tale...cooking pots, now only a photographer would shoot this. I like it and you perhaps monkeyed with the saturation, it works as it provides visual juxtaposition ...vibrant colours against mist...ahhhh.

Ahhh vast, rural and flooded rice paddies. The black and white helps pop out the patterns, the bright sky at the top might benefit from a bit of a nip as it is overpowering.

Next time take a bottle of red wine, Brenda and you drink it, they you can lay down on the hallowed grounds of Siam Reap and shoot Brenda! hic
