Beautiful pool! You can hear the silence from the photography...

It really bugs me when people sneak in my house and take pictures!

I'd love to have a swim there.

Congrats on 1st place, great shot.

Thanks !

This is SUCH a wonderfully sharp photo, and the spotlight shining into the sky really accents the image!

Congrats for the 4th place

The vertical white line is very distracting for this photo, and the nose profile is somewhat compromised by tree silhouettes in the background. You'd be better off cropping the photo to get rid of as much of the trees and fence on the left as you can, and then Burning the white line down to be less dominant, since Burn and Dodge are allowed.

I agree about the white line and have fixed it. However, I disagree about the rest so I'm leaving that as is. Thx for your input.

wonderful focus.

Nice crop. Looks better, with your focal point more, well, focal...

I love these dogs

I think it's a great image, but if it was mine, I would increase the contrast and make it darker.

It did look a little too light, Thanks.

I wouldn't increase the contrast, it would make the highlights WAY to bright, I would just play around with the curve to make the drays darker so you don't loose detail in the highlights, which you already have, but great idea.
