Stunning. Love the tones, the light rays, the clarity - of photo and of water that allows us to see that wonderful rocky bottom - just a beautiful scene. Commenting only at this point - accepting Melethia's challenge; yours is image #1 in my random display.
Back to say this is one of my two 10's. Gorgeous.

Mountains layers

Love the look of layers of mountains, especially at sunrise or sunset. This one is almost an abstract, isn't it? Flows nicely.

Good title - that's the impression this made on me when it came up on my monitor. Simple. And I could walk through this field, enjoying the fresh air, the probably breeze, the beauty of the occasional flower.

The Back Paddock

I like the tones and the fact that you found an interesting enough foreground for a lovely sky. I think I would prefer less foreground, both to take the horizon more off center and to lose the brightest rock (bottom left to center) which really draws my eye away from the overall scene when there's no reason to do so. I think you may have considered this but not wanted to lose the flowers on the right?

Love the scene with one exception - whatever it is that is sticking up from the bottom of the frame in the center. I'm sure you tried to shoot around it and could not - been there! - but I do find it distracting. I like the decision to go black and white but the tonal range seems a bit limited to me (I'm on a laptop and traveling so that limits what I can see).

I love the guy with the newspaper . . . I'd lose the left side, though.
