Such a great atmosphere on this one. The fog settling in is perfect and the tree frames the photo very well, as well as taking some room of a redundant sky. This was a fantastic find --- I'd love to know where this was taken.

Beautiful clarity! The colors are awesome and are accentuated by the wonderful use of backlighting. Reminds me of a sea anemone...

Critique Club!!!
What a great score and a great placing a highly deserving image --- congrats to you!

I agree with all of the below comments and I truly think that there is very little to be improved upon in this image. Composition and perspective are both spot on and everything seems just well thought out. The tone is great and fitting and this is just a thrill for the eyes from the water to the spout of smoke off in the distance. Truly brilliant work!

The only real problem that I have is that this seems deathly oversharpened or overcompressed, which can be avoided and changed, and I think that that makes the image a little bit aesthetically unpleasing.

Obviously, voters and myself easily saw through that minor problem and you ended up with a whopping 6.5!

Great stuff, keep it up!!!

Back to comment. I hope that this wins as it is absolutely beautiful. Instead of raising your ego with what I liked about it (which was basically editing) the aspects of it that I feel detract are the following: 1. The halo around the man standing is distracting and is the only major flaw. 2. I think that the other piece of rock/mineral on the water to the left of the man's reflection is not necessary and is just visually incongruent with the rest of the composition.

Mind you, these are only small nitpicks that I saw to give a sort of "constructive critique". Best of luck to you --- 10.

Composition is a little bit too cluttered for me.
