can't make up my mind about this one! sky is unsettling to the eye, trees are fantastic. holographic feel to it all and certainly meets challenge.

Nice use of black and white, great contrast and tonal range, highlights to shadows. Placement of the boat is a bit low and to the left of the 1/3 intersection. Clouds seem to have some blur to them while water and trees are sharp.
