Great photo, didn't they shoot a Star Trek episode here? We are headed out there next spring- (cross fingers) to do some shooting. Love the clouds. And remember....Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, creation is the greatest sense of accomplishment. Or something like that, great job in creating a unique image.

Outstanding. The sky has a strange tint to it but it doesn't take away from the overall appeal. - 10

Nice! Love the tones here.. 9
Post actions
I would have lightened the lighter midtones just a tad more than here, but an excellent example anyway, especially the detail in the deep shadows.
Post actions
Very nice. love the angles
Post actions
One of my favourites so far.

The tonal quality of this image gives it that Ansel Adams feel. Nicely done. <8>...Another look, and I'm boosting this to <9>.

Burn the top corners of the sky into near black and this would be an almost perfect faux AA!

Great clarity. Love the whispy clouds.

Good picture. May look better without shadows. 9

Looks like a great time to take this photo, the light on the rock gives a great contrast of dark and light, Wonderful photo.

I like this very much, nice tones.
Post actions
Great shadow detail and tonality of the sky!
Post actions
Something about this composition, I really like it. I suppose it is just its simplicity, with good lighting. Great job (10)
Post actions
Amazing sky - very good conversion to B&W
Post actions
This has Adams written all over it. You have great detail in the forground and have used the lighting to good effect. One of three tens from me.
Post actions
Sweet, lighting is great and its clear, high rated
Post actions
Wow! This is very, very good. One of my top picks. I love the subject (been there), composition, contrasts, DOF, and everything else. A 10 from me, and in my favorites it goes. Good job!
Post actions
Dramatic sky, good composition and light ... this is a beautiful picture ....
Post actions
Absolutely beautiful... great contrast between the sky and rock it's almost 3-D looking. Well Done!
Post actions
Post actions
That is good. I seem to expect darker blacks and lighter whites in an ansel adams print...but i like your treatment better anyway. um...so how should I vote?
Post actions
Nice composition, exposure and translation to B&W. The position of the cloud over the upthrusting of rock is spot-on. Congrats!

thats cool, looks like one of those pics from iceland? :)
Post actions
What a wonderful shot! Very well done technically, incredible detail and great tones. Ansel himself would be proud of this shot. This should win a ribbon.
Post actions
Gorgeous subject and excellent processing. The rock itself seems a bit soft, but that's a minor critique of a beautiful photo.
Post actions
Strong sky. Strong light. Strong subject. All the right elements for a great Ansel Adams challenge entry. Love it. 9
