Fantastic, fabulous image. I love the monotone... and the textures and details of the rocks are so perfectly contrasted by the smooth water and the mist in the background. Superb shot.
I really dig this shot, very minimalistic and "clean". Should most definately have put it up in 700 pixles though, that would have hurt your score and you are probably aware of this but just in case you are new here blown highlights doesn´t do well with DPC voters here. They don´t bother me in the least in this shot though, I actually like the strong light coming from the center. 8 from me.
Beautiful shot, I really like the sharpness of the rocks and the softness of the water. The extreme sunlight isn't necessarily a bad touch, but I feel that it is a bit too blown, and become more a distraction than an addition. 7
Wow, I think it's a strong photograph with huge impact and interesting colour tones but it's just flawed by that old rule of thirds jobby. If you have taken the horizon lower it would have such a better impact.
Your photo looks pretty much like that: a photo. I don't really see anything I think would have taken advantage of the expert editing which in your case is ok - it's a great photo.
