I like how the winding river leads your eye into the mountains, and the dark clouds really match the title. The water looks soft, but the whole place still feels wild and powerful. Congratulations, noraneko! Also for the high score!!

I predict an easy ribbon finish for this one. So pristinely rendered it feels like it belongs on the cover of a textbook about landscape photography.

Well I already picked my blue, but this would supersede it if I wasn't too lazy. So THIS is my official . Outstanding!

i have four top picks so far and this is one of them .
but this might be the top of the top pics though ..
i'm loving the patterns in the water .. the tones .. and the depth of this image .. it also seems a bit sombre which i'm rather liking too ..
it speaks of journeys .. 9 ..
