looking at this, unless the original is something a little special, I don't see that you are really going to improve it.... what camera did you shoot it with?

nice idea, but I think this shot is more about what is behind the fence, than about the fence itself!

flash is causing blown highlights in the foreground.......

Can you explain how so many of the branches appear to be behind the moon!!

nice effect, how did you do it?

this would have made a terrific 'street life' shot..........excellent capture... good luck.

I like the colors here..........well done author.

cool entry............lI ike the light and dark aspect here...

a nice idea, but the heavy blur in the right foreground is too much imo....

I use a wide angle, and point the cam in the general direction I want the shot to be, and take a few 'covert' shots with the cam on my shoulder or hip as if I am just carrying it...

shot is a little oof (out of focus)

congrats on your 3rd..........a superb shot..........keep up the good work...

congrats on your 2nd, keep it up...

congrats on your 1st, well done.

congrats on your 3rd, well done.

congrats on your 2nd my friend.

congrats on your 1st, great shot!

close up, but not macro..........imo.

great idea, but the composition could have been much better....

yes, it is allowed, but it has left a mark in the photo that is different to the rest of it.........

excellent, well done

good capture.........great ad shot!

I agree with Friiskiwi...........if the image is that bad, don't enter it......!!.... Part of the idea of these contests is to enter a shot that that has been well executed, and stands a chance of making a place in the winners list.......shots like this will never do that, so why enter them..........sorry to be harsh, but it is fact!!

too dark......

I like the idea author, but the execution could have been better. The shot is a little blurry, even with th effect you are trying to achieve.....imo..also, the image is, or appears to be very small, and there is no hi res.

absolutely agree with you..........

the "dof" looks PS to me..........

nice idea, just a few blown highlights...

sorry but this colors look like graduated filters.................not allowed here.

there is evidence of editing to the left of the towers.....something removed maybe!!

yes, I thought that too........

I have to agree with you mperri........ other than the label, this is a fabulous example of what was asked for in this contest.

this could have been a superb shot if it were not for the background.

Mekun, personally, I don't see a problem with this shot.........the lady loves wearing the hat, which is very brave of her.... ......and so, imo, the shot is on topic!

good effort, though the focus could have been better imo.

good effort, but I might have found a healthier bud........

fair answer, and good on you for looking to keep to the rules........good luck.....

I can see your point here author, but the leaves do tend to draw the eye from the main subject, that being the bud itself. It might have been better if they were darker, imo.

the musician!!..............so why the cards?.........good shot though, well done.

excellent work............well done author, I agree with the distortion comment, it makes the shot!!

as this picture was posed, you had time to compose it better..........the background is not good, the doorway on the right, although, I am guessing this was a chance fun shot!!

it was worth the trip author, it is now perfect!!

Oh Man, this is way cool...................lol.......love it!!

some contrast would help this shot, you might want to straighten it up too....

great capture, although, I might have cropped some off the left

focus is off, and composition could be better, especially as it is a 'posed' shot. Also, if you turn a picture round, make sure there is no tell tale writing to give it away.............

far too bright.........

too grainy for my taste......

a little bit of red eye needs dealing with here.......great capture otherwise

this is close up more than macro, surely!
