  As part of a respectable company that leads a team of graphic artists, I find this photograph OVER PROCESSED. It' is indeed a beautiful picture (NO DOUBT ABOUT IT). If I was just given the opportunity to jude, I could have included this in the magazine ONLY, ONLY if the 'OVERT PROCESSING' is NOT A RULE. I therefore conclude that the jpgmag judges did a bad job in choosing this picture as well as some (over processed) pictures that were included in the magazine (dream theme).

  I'm a commercial photographer of 25 tears and this image isn't overprocessed. It's a tad everexposed in that there's not a lot of detail in the bird's feathers, leading me to believe that they are clipping. Clearly the camera exposed for the highlights and the shadow areas are fine. Perhaps a little burning on each side, but thats allowed. I don't think Marc understands that burning, dodging, contrast & color adjustments are allowed. There is clearly no manipulation with layering or masking with layers in the image. It's just a cool capture.
