great photograph

beautiful, your persistence paid off.

Nice work

HDR has it's place, but here you have evened the tones out so much that you have ended up a photo, where nothing is of special interest.

a beautiful photograph, but for this contest I would crop it just below the horizon, to put more focus on the colour kayaks.

So beautiful, such a shame you cropped the top off the mountain.

Congrats on 1st place

Congrats on 1st Place.

Congrats on 1st Place, well deserved

Congrats on 1st place, wonderful photo

Lovely photo with great DOF, I would however crop the tree on the right, that very dark area, they eye keeps going there.

Lovely photo, great tones.

What an eyesore, great find.

Some cropping to put more focus on the lamps would be good, IMO.

Thanks, you have certainly got plenty of colour.

I agree, there seems to be a lot of colours missing in this contest.

very colourful

With the earth quakes they have had, it's amazing it's still standing. Great shot.

Wayne, does that matter?

I don't know why, I'm sure you will find a use for them, LOL

I think you have got it this time, lovely DOF

Definitely better, my grandson saw your title and suggested I upload a photo of myself.
Guess who didn't get a chocolate biscuit when he wanted one, LOL.

Great and a wonderful description too, I would probably loose some of the black, perhaps about 1/2.

"There should be at least 3 different colors,"
It's a beautiful image, but I can not see 3 colours, black is not considered a colour.

That is much better and I do agree with keeping the grind stone

Great shot, beautifully done.

They do look like they are having fun

lovely

To much processing, IMO, makes it look like a drawing.

Great shot, but you stole my idea.

Lovely

stunning

A really beautiful photograph, but I'm not sure if it's right for this contest.

colour seems overdone, IMO

well done, you have actually managed to take an interesting photo of firewood.

Great find

Not so wonderful now, great shot.

Nice, but I don't really see a lot of decay.

Great

This one has possibilities, I would darken it to really make it pop.

Great idea, but I feel more light is needed on the remote and more DOF all over.

Lovely idea, but you might want to crop it a little so the hammer and anvil is larger in the photo, and straighten it at the same time.

You could try again.

Apart from the fact that smoking is anti social these days, Great shot, lovely tones.

cute, wonderful focus and DOF

Great

Nice catch, well at least I hope he caught it.

great action shot

Cute

Great shot
