Rocks in the sea

I adore these types of photographs. Partially because I love landscapes, as do I love the water. The "coming at you" effect is beautiful here. The sunset is colored nicely. And the clouds add to the photograph. It's a pleasure to look at, and it was nicely shot/processed.

This looks like it should be a cover for a book, or a movie. It's a beautiful image that has a peaceful feel. The large amount of sky included in the picture adds to the beauty of the photograph. Very well done.

Morning Fire

Gorgeous. The title is very fitting. It almost looks like the tree is hiding a fire, the fog on the water intensifies that effect, which is very interesting. Everything about the photograph speaks of beauty and the wonders of nature.

A very scenic place to be. This photograph makes me want to visit. It's calming in its nature. And the hint of sunlight spread here and there add interest. Very nice shot.

Ice Melting from Mendota

A ver beautiful image. The colors are very warm in this picture, even though you can tell it's not too terribly warm. The business on the right of the image, mixed with the simplicity on the left are a perfect balance. The few leaves here and there across some of the trees add a hint of life...

The image is thought provoking and beautifully taken/processed.

Riparian Reflection

A very interesting photo. The fact that most of the picture is blurred by reflections makes it that much more intriguing. The inclusion of the lone tree trunk to the right of the frame gives that little bit of detail that is needed, in a photo that is mostly blurry. The color choice works well. I really like this. It's abstract in a way where we know what it is. Great job. Wonderful title.

Red Sky at Night

A beautiful sunset photograph. I love taking photos with a barren tree to the side, it's one of the things I have done since first taking pictures. It emits beauty (in my opinion).
The colors of the sunset here are beautiful. I love the water, and the fact that the majority of the picture is composed of the sky gives a slightly off balance feel, but it works perfectly here. Great shot!

Aspen Grove, Winter Morning

I really love these winter shots. And this photo reminds me of one particular spot in Oklahoma. The trees were all planted by prisoners, in a perfectly straight line... so no matter where you stood in the midst of it all, you could see a straight path. It was rumored that the woods there were haunted, though I never went there at night (what a pity). Beautifully composed and processed. Love the sunlight peeking through the trees. The sharpness is right on. And the photo is wonderful!

Gorgeous photo. Love the lack of color in the picture. The reflection in the water adds to the beauty. The lone dock/pier as a nicely added subject. It's a picture that depicts winter at it's finest. Lovely shot!

This was a wonderful photo.... The shades of orange are beautifully captured in this image. It also contrasts very well of the black. Focal point is spot on and detail is great. Congrats on finishing in the top ten.
