OK let me clarify something for you, this is not a bad image, far from it matter of fact! I find this image very dark and moody, the vignetting only adds to this dark mysterious atmosphere, I love the fact that you used a slow shutter here as it makes the water appear soft. This is a stunning image, maybe not a colorful one, but brimming with moodiness! Excellence!

Wonderful dramatic tones. I really like the smoothness of the water in the foreground, excellent work!

hey tom, thanks for the comment and noticing the title is missing the L, now i have to reupload it for the third time and loose all the valuable feedback, its possible that i might just say heck with it and leave the image up... the experiment is coming along, with more views uploaded in the AM, i feel your right with the upload time of 3 to 6pm eastern standard, i would enjoy winning some awards but am looking more for just critique and good feedback on the work, which is hard sometimes seeing that i do it myself, click on images that my eye catches through the thumbnails...
i enjoy your work very much and enjoy the feedback and critique anytime..
thanks again
phil swanson

I like it good use of logn exposure to enhache the flow of the river.
Dark tones feeling is is very close to that moment (IMHO).
Don't care about views on UF, people is watching from every place of the world, so there isn't a good time to post but only good pictures, and this is a good one!
Enjoy taking picture and continue posting...
Take care Fabio.

philip, excellent work. this is definitely an award contender. i like your experiment, btw. i went through a similar test last year although instead of awards, i was looking for more views and comments. i found that the key upload time is when the most eyeballs are on usefilm which was at the time between 3PM - 6PM EST monday through thursday. forget friday through sunday. very few people are on during the weekend and your upload will be seen by very few.
in order to figure out when the most folks are on uf, i kept track of new uploads and new comments per hour over the course of a few days. i guess this would still work today.
btw, you have a built-in excuse to reupload it: i noticed the title in the frame is missing the L in "boulder". once you see it it's hard to ignore.
i'd love to hear how your experiment comes along.
take care,
tom

I can't believe you haven't won an award yet. Your portfolio is fantastic and definitely among the best I've seen. I hope you get some recognition soon. :)

thanks for your wonderful comment laurie, i have noticed that time has helped this one, i uploaded the image on the 30th at around 11PM central USA time, and only got 17 views through the night and three comments, one being the amazing photographer from aussie kelly munce, i reuploaded this morning the 1st of july at 6AM and already by 9:10 i have got 29 views on the image,
the reasoning im doing this test is to see when staff and awards go out, i feel that my work can contend with some of the winners and might be getting overlooked as per the time i upload, looking at the winners, there seems to be a bunch around 9:00 PM central US time, possible thats when i need to start uploading and possible same with many others that seem to get lost in the mass uploads of so many talented photographers..
thanks again laurie,
phil swanson

Very impressive image due to contrast and long exposure. The frame enahances the mood of image.

I love the long exposure--it really makes the water look extra smooth. This image has a mysterious feel to me and I like it!
Regarding your theory, I'll be interested to see what your experiment yields. I do think time of day and day of the week both have a lot to do with how many views an image gets.
