A very literal take on the title, i find this to be less than it could be.
a more dramatic feel to the rocks and sky would help to elevate this image, where i find it feeling overall muted and flat.
a 5 from me
Comment Challnege: Interesting colors in the rocks in the foreground, and very nice sky. To me, the picture is bland - like it would make a great background, does not have a subject.
4...to my eye, the horizon doesn't look quite level, just slightly off, and the image seems generally flat. I'm not familiar with the book, so I can't make an informed comment on that.
I'm am not familiar with this novel and to be honest, I could not find any book with this title on google so I will consider this to be not fully meeting the challenge. The image itself doesn't do a lot for me and the tilted horizon is distracting. However, I do like the softness and colour of the sky and the overall composition is nice. 3
I don't know the book, but I do like the blues and golds of this palette. I like the simple composition as well with its strong diagonal that breaks the horizon line. 5
Don't know the book and can't find it with Google. Doesn't seem to have any reference to the dike plugging story, so regrets for defaulting to a DNMC. The image looks unprocessed on my monitor, but could be improved in a photo editor as with most digital images. Overall, it needs contrast and some selective editing to bring out detail and accurate colors. 4
Tilted horizon, poor contrast. The rocks in the foreground are neither on focus nor creating a nice blur effect to emphasize the subject, if any. Very uniteresting for me, sorry 3
The horizon line is a little off, and it seems a little flat but these are minor. Really though, it is mostly lacking an element that really grabs your interest. The sky and the rocks alternately could and don't. 4
Don't know that one, couldn't find it either. The light, while subtle, is a little on the dull side which is a pity because post processing could have really primed it (but not HDR) .5.
Nice foreground and vista! Wish it was exposed a little better...a little dark for my likeing and robs some of the appeal of the overall scene and detail in the rocks.
Is this a novel? I am totally ignorant about this title in literature.
I mind a lot the tilted horizon. The colors are nice but the picture does not bring enough interest, especially in this challenge

I'm having difficulties finding this novel. I'm only finding a song...
I like the water a lot, but the rocks and the sky seem a little flat. I'm curious what it would look like with a bit more contrast in the rocks. Also, your horizon is tilted.
I do like the diagonal slash that the rocks make in the composition.
Overall, nice picture, but it doesn't really evoke anything as is, and it's hard when I can't find the novel. -5-
