Good stuff !...I am pretty sure that some post editing was required to obtain the final result, nonetheless this
is an excellent and tasteful depiction of the splendour of nature....I'm mighty impressed, well done.
Great shot Andy, I love these opportunistic, once in a lifetime types of images. I carry my camera everywhere just waiting for the chance and this is one of those really good ones. Regards Paul Horton

Wow! Your first entry and a ribbon!!! Congratulations. I liked this from the first time I saw it and scored high on it. Certainly worthy of the ribbon!
The tones in this make it special. The exposure is very nice, allowing variations to be visbible.
The rays glowing down really steal the show. It's just so moody, and inspiring at the same time. The way the rays hit the water is really special. Not a scene one sees every day.
The border is well chosen, not being in competition with the subject, but rather complementing it.
Overall very nice!
Welcome to DPC!!!
Regards,
Congratulations Mr Bell. I new your shot would be in the running but the Yellow Ribbon... you must be double chuffed as it's your first submission. Nice one man!
Congratulations Andy! Your first submission and you got a ribbon. It's a shame some people don't follow the rules but in this case it's great news for you. Enjoy your stay here at DPC and good luck!
Fantastic shot! I really like the tonal range, composition, and the tasteful border. In my opinion, a small portion of the sky is a bit overexposed, and detracts from the shot somewhat. Overall, though, very nice.
The soft focus and darkness of this image conveys the feeling of the calm before an impending storm. I like it that shades of blue are the only colors.
Beautiful capture. Great colors. The blues are really vivid and take this picture to the next level. The reflection of the light off the water is really good.
Amazing. This need to be framed. It might help if the white in the inner border was a bit thicker but it's as close to perfect as you can get. Outstanding.
The sky looks higly dramatic - nice weather shot. But when I look at the bottom (water surface?) I think, that you overdid the postprocessing al little bit. It looks oversharpened and the contrasts and/or saturation is IMHO to high. Nevertheless a nice shot, good luck for the challenge!
Amazing capture you got here! This is nearly poster/postcard material. Get it ready for selling as a print for sure. Excellent contrasts and those suns rays are awesome. The darkness in the lower left hand corner unbalances this photo a little - 9.
