    Nice! Two thoughts:

    1. I'd like to see it in B&W
    2. I'd like to see a tighter crop with part of the left side cropped out.

    It could be that the one you have is the best, I'd just like to see the other options.

    The branches on the left are a little distracting from the main subject matter. In a sense, I do like the pool and the pattern on the water, but it is still a little too busy. An alternative to cropping if you want to keep the pool is to darken the left side a bit.

    I wouldn't mind seeing a B&W too, but you captured beautiful light here, so the colors in this IMO are very nice. My crop suggestion might be a little from the bottom, to give it more of that thirds feel. Hope that helps!

    Love the colored crop version. The B&W is nice, but IMO color is the way to go for this shotclap.gif Very nice!

    So I logged into the gallery and uploaded my image as the user "challenges" like I normally do. Usually when I log back out, I see my uploaded image. This time, however, I only see my uploaded image if I am logged in as the "challenges" user. Has anyone seen this before? Could a mod possibly take a look at that?

    Cheers,
    Karl

    It is better to post this kind of thing in the entry thread. Sean will be sure to see it there. And I see it in the gallery when not logged in.

    Nice pic!

    I've seen it before, not sure why it happens, definitely post it in the entry thread to be sure Sean sees it.

    Thanks for the help! In the future, I'll definitely post issues like that to the entry thread. I'd do that now, but I can see my image and others have said the same, so their is not an issue as far as I'm concerned.
