I absolutely love the subject and the editing. The colors are amazing and the softness of the trees evokes the memories wrapping around the structure of the mill. I marvel how it has become part of the rocky outcrop as it has weathered the years. I can imagine it nearly buried in snow through the winters and surviving avalanches and wind storms. I have more trouble trying to imagine where exactly YOU were when taking this image. I'm sure there is a good story to go with this. One of my favorites in the challenge and I gave you a 9. I think this was sadly underscored.
ok -- really cool shot, but the softening filter makes it hard to look at. :( 6 as is, but could have been an 8, with less editing, bringing back the highlights in the clouds and the water.
magic location .. magic edit .. love that a lot .. perfect for the challenge ..
i've only opened three photos but so far this is definitely ribbon material .. :)
