Composition/use of frame space = 4.5
Only reason it doesn’t get a 5 is because I don’t hand out 5’s like water…LOL. Good diagonal across the frame…nice empty space to balance out the foreground object…even the clouds help balance this all out.

Colors/White Balance = 4.5
A little Midtone contrast adjustment and a slight LAB tweak could open it up a tad…but pretty darned good.

Exposure = 5
Ya pretty much nailed it….good detail in the shadows…nothing is blown in the highlights…reasonably crisp across the board.

Creative use of Aperture/Shutter = 5
Again…you got this one nailed…crisp from front to back.

Perspective = 5
Great use of space to create an illusion of depth in a 2D space…foreground object to anchor the viewer…good sprawl to the mountains in the background. Well done.

Creativity = 4.5
Another place dear to my heart…don’t give out 5’s often here either. …but very creative and unique.

Emotion – 4.5
Definitely makes me want to visit and see it first hand.

Forethought/Visualization = 4
Looks like you really weighed out the scene before setting up….only niggle is the flower cut off in the frame at top and bottom.

Post processing = 4
Just needs to be tightened up a little in the mid contrast and LAB to give it some crispness.

Total = 40 out of a possible 45 = Awesome!!!
