I don't normally go hog wild on pp'ing, but I thought I would do an experiment with this shot to see how it would do by over-doing it. If my gut is correct, this will probably land in my top 5. That's a shame because I liked it better straight from the camera. If it lands in my top 5, I'm done with dpc. Over pp'd shots are becoming far too much the norm around here and less about straight from the camera shots with no or very little pp'ing.

I thought it looked a bit over-processed, but I could not deny the effective shutter speed and composition. 8 from me and not in my top ten if that makes you feel any better LOL I do really like it, though, if you don't mind my saying that. Congratulations on the top ten overall.
Shamefully I have to admit that I didn't think this was over processed at all. (unlike a lot of mine...hehe)
Anyway, congrats on the TT. It is a very nice shot that I'm sure looks great straight from the camera, too.
Water is so silky it appears to be vaporizing - kind of cool. Interesting tones, too, and I like that you gave minimal space to the sky, maximum to the powerful rocks. Voted earlier.
