You did well with this, but I thought it would finish even higher! Tied for 1st place in my votes (gave it a 9).
Beautifully composed, with great use of leading lines to bring you around the entire image coming back to the rock pile as the main subject. Nice control of the tonal range for this B&W image. Great timing on catching sun rays as the sun rises above the treeline. Even the clouds in the sky participated by filling in the upper left image space without overwhelming the image in general. The feather? Well, that's just a bonus. :-) |
