For this to work as well as it ought to, the middle-ground rocks need to be tack-sharp to contrast witht he ghost water. The tonal;ities of sky and water are beautiful, the overall color is lovely.

Its all legal

Intriguing composition. I might prefer a true vertical for the dominant N/S element.

Rock
by gingerninja

Comment:
In many ways a very powerful image, but I have several nits. The cliffs themselves don't seem to be rendered as wella s they might be, and even though the horizon is almost perfectly level the ooveralls ense is that it's leaning slightly to the right, like it needs half a degree of ccw rotation to balance it. Finally, the very wide one-two punch of border is really hurting you here, it's greatly at odds witht he delicacy of the photo details, and overpowers them badly.

This deceptively simple composition if worth a second, and a third, look. Bumping up. My first reactionw as "not sharp", but now the softness seems to work well for the subject.

The ambiguity of scale here is fascinating. Nice image, tautly composed.

This is quite amusing. It's a pity there's so much of it feeling blown out. Good work!

In good company

Very nice rock picture, indeed. The rock itself feels less sharp than the leaves surrounding, but I suspect that's just the nature of the surface. Nevertheless, it's odd that the leaves are "harder" than the rock, isn't it? Stron entry.

I like thisd interpretation of the challenge, and I love the framing of the image. The built-in "almost symmetry" of the slope of the pavement is quite compelling. The color is wonderful. Very strong entry.

Technically very nice, hard for me to fault. A little shy on the wow factor. One of the few times I've felt a drop shadow framing was working FOR the image. Good show.

Reminds me of the Southwester Indian figure, kokopele (sp?), and this is a great association for me. It's a very metaphorical image, and I just love it. Strange & mysterious. Strong entry.
