I am not a pixel peeper, but if I enlarge the image, I can notice that the demarcation of the colored zones was not realized by the software, but by the hand of the entrant...

Excellent image. Well done.

As to the "criticism" about the whites.... sounds like petty jealousy to me.

babalu

No jealousy, I did not participate in the challenge. Rather establishing what I see as a fact. And it's far from critique, just an opinion- would be allowed, wouldn't it ?

Excellent! Congratulations!

Good idea, congratulations. If the whites were a bit less blown, it would have been ever better, IMO.
