'Flan, many thanks for the competition and your critique, I get a lot from the competitions even if I don't submit an image.
I take your point on judging and commenting. I think your suggestion of a comment/critique of 1st, 2nd and 3rd has some merit and is a reasonable minimum but not too onerous.
But for myself I've found that taking the effort to comment/critique all the image does take quite an effort but is rewarding in itself. It encourages/forces me to spend some time looking at each image which helps me to decide the placings and hopefully provide a constructive analysis of each image. Though it does make my head hurt a bit!'

Funnily enough Thor's Helmet features in today's APOD image. The images shows the Seagull Nebula and Thor's Nebula, this reveals that Thor's Nebula is surrounded by the red edges of the Seagull Nebula, so the red overall background tint is in fact believable. See link below to the APOD image:

As it happens my brother's name was David to, he climbed it with a couple of mates from the Shropshire climbing club, they also did the Tasch, Dom and Lenspitze route on another day.

It would be very interesting to see an example image straight out of the camera with no post processing.
