i like a lot in this photo, the smooth water, the texture of the rocks, i really like the title once I looked up aphotic in the dictionary, but the color seems to unnatural, and i would have liked it to be cropped a little more on the bottom. Just my personal preferences, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with the photo.
doesnt look aphotic at all, with its magnificent golden shine, but still it perfectly evokes dark underground... even, ummm, hell... where was it taken anyway? :-)
Nice use of colour. I love the gold in the highlights, and the sharp texture of the rocks contrasting the soft water. Not quite sure of the link to Darkness, but it's a great shot.
Lovely capture! The stones are perfectly focussed, and the long exposure works really well to soften the water. It does need the title to meet the challenge, but that's no bad thing - it's all about interpretation, after al! 9
[If it has no light, how did you capture it? Thanks for teaching me a new word, though!]
Beautiful tones, lovely image and very nice clarity/focus, but I don't envision 'darkness' when I see this really. That said, obviously you do so its really a moot point. The picture doesn't speak to me of darkness so I'm scoring on general impact and technical work. I gave a 6
this one looks like a winner.good use of slow shutter to create the soft water effect. a little extra crop off the rocky area might help. but then again, this is good enough. see you with a ribbon next week.
IMHO this image -- although very nice -- did not meet the challenge
Damn I hate that also because the image is striking... but I dont see the connection to the challenge
