Took many shots trying to get the right shapes, light and colour. There was all cloud on the horizon which I think helped. Adjusted colour temp, bumped up contrast and saturation in RawShooter. Adjusted Levels in photoshop.

Love this effect…and you did it well. I really like the overall blue…to get very “critical” I think the blacks are a bit too black…you lose some of the appeal…just becomes a black shape instead of interesting textures…now in your defense it might have been impossible to get the rocks properly lit due to it being very dark and if you let shutter open more to let more light in the highlights would have been blown which would have been a bigger eye sore. So “if” it was possible to get the texture back without ruining the rest of the shot I think that would have made it a bit better. Overall I think you did a fantastic job…great work.
Beautiful image that takes advantage of the challenge topic in a pleasing way. Your color adjustments work very well. These are difficult to get right. You did great job.
