WoW!
Great eye appeal.

Super nice!
A fine example of the theme's intent.
Good job, Author.

While I appreciate your creativeness, this image fails to meet the definition of Traditional Still Life (others are marginal as well)
and would probably fair better in a different contest. Just my opinion of course but.......Good luck!

Awesome HDR subject. Would loved to see this in color.
Great job!

Nice composition w/terrific eye appeal!
Good luck,Author.

Nice tone and detail.
Good luck, Author

Still very nice

Deja Vu!

Very nice.
I believe this would perform better in the B/W contest currently running though. Just a suggestion.
Good luck

Classic!
Good luck, Author

Nice lighting and well composed.
Good job, Author.

Very nice Portraiture.
Beautiful subject did half of your work
Great work, Author

Effective simplicity.
Well seen, Author.

Nicely done.
Good luck, Author

Well suited for B/W treatment and nicely done.
I do find the tree/pole at the left to add nothing to the image and is a un-necessary distraction to the viewer. Cropping this out would improve the overall composition. (IMHO of course).
Good luck, Author

Congrats on the top spot!
Well done.

Great mood.

Great shot of a magnificent animal.
Really good job, Author.
Good luck!

Very nice, well balanced tonal quality image.
Good luck, Author

Nice shot!
Very Christmas-y feeling.
I think cropping out the snow above the treeline (no added value) would improve the overall composition significantly. IMHO
Good luck, Author.

Wonderful Image.

Someone seems a little camera shy!
Good catch, Author.

Unique!
Nicely done, Author.

Very nice composition. Love the processing.
Well done, Author.

WOW!
Very nice.

Great subject for Black/White and I really like the feel of this image.
I do think the hitch cropped off spoils the composition a bit though.
Good luck, Author.

Would make a nice framed wall hanger!
Good work, Author

I think I've bought insurance from this guy!
Nice catch, Author.

Magnificent detail!
Good Job, Author.

Visually fantastic image - well seen.
I do wish you would straighten the horizon.
The slight tilt to the right lessens the impact of this great shot.
Good luck, Author.

Very nice. I like the capture of the fuselage in the prop cone.
Well done, Author!

Great colors, well composed......Very nice.

QUOTE:
We understand that enhancing pictures after the fact has a long tradition in photography and thus we allow for certain digital darkroom techniques, which is readily available in most photo handling software today. As a general rule, you are allowed to all adjustments which act on the whole picture and on exactly one picture (a.k.a. non selective editing).
This includes: 6.4.: Small alterations to photos are allowed; removing dead pixels, color adjustments, B&W conversion and so on. - Adding a border for instance is OK. - Filters, if used, should be kept to a minimum and affect the entire image.
Sounds exceptable to me but..........your call!
Good luck, Author

Well seen! Nicely done with the HDR.

Excellent results to an imaginative concept.
Well done, Author.
Good luck!

Hmmm,
I cant find any mention of retouches being disallowed.
Id verify with a Mod on that but, your call!

Like this alot. Nicely seen for the B/W and HDR treatment(well done by the way)
Good luck, Author
