Well challenege 6 for me was a bit of a last minute (well nearly) rush, and there were a few that I had to choose from in the end. This is one I didn't submit. Critique as always welcome.

WOW.
I'm pleased you didn't put it in Geoff - would have made it all the more harder for the rest of us to get a look in.
I love it.

That is a very interesting image which I like.
Is there any chance that you could bring out a little bit more cloud detail?

This is a great shot, but I'd remove a little of the orange colour cast and add some blue. This would in turn (most likely) bring up the clouds.

Thanx Peter and everyone. I will try now to reduce the colour cast, and add the blue as suggested. It was a bit difficult cos the pool was lit with two huge flood lights!
Decreased Temperature. Increased exposure and added some more blue.

Pe-white balance probably would have looked more natural, but i quite like the orange colour caste on this image anyway. I think it looks great.
If this is the quality of image you didn't submit, i can't wait to see the one you did.

hmmm...I'd like to know what you did submit...this is excellent. I like the orange effect more then the "natural" look.

I really like the repost as the pool has that lovely blue-green tint to it. The cloud area could do with a bit of noise reduction though.

I prefer the original as is - the repost has just toooooo much noise

Yep, it's unfortunate and is probably where an inverse grad ND filter (filter upside down) would of come in hand. Just needed the clouds to be exposed more. Out of interest what time of day was it shot? Might pay to have another crack when the sun is just below the horizon.

I prefer the rework, but it definitely needs some noise reduction as has already been said.

The rework is my choice. Was it with the 17-55 lens?
South Curlie pool . . . . . childhood memories.
