i like this but i think maybe there is not enough colour. It's a shame that the steps and rocks near to the front are too dark to make out, even if that is the point.
An exceptionally pleaseing image with great light overall. The horizon is very close to dead-center, but you could easily crop out some of the sky. It's a real stretch to say it meets the challenge, but since it's so well done - no points deducted for that! Great job!
Wow... I love the composition! I'd like to see a bit more light on the right to bring out more detail in the trees and rocks. I love the way this balances, and the details in three dimensions. Great photo!
