Power of One: Rise Above the Rest

I think it meets the challenge quite well... I gave it a 10... the impression that this leaves on me is that this single flower is 'rising above the rest'.

Bad weather, mundane location, good picture :)

Every now and then, I come across a photo that speaks, and this is one of them. Strength dominates this image, as mother nature is full of incredible forces. Man is not even a challenge for the strength of nature. The diminuitive size of the man in this photo accents that theme quite well. This is a GREAT shot.

I'm trying to get away from commenting on technicals/technique, but this photo begs me to ask a question and make a suggestion as well. I don't know if this is just a candid shot of this man, but IF this person is posed for you in this scene, why did you choose to have him facing to the left rather than facing and looking up at/into the waterfall? Personally, I think this would make it even stronger.

Regardless, this is my 'best of show' in this challenge... Kudos on a great shot.

This is a gorgeous land/seascape. I think I have seen photos of this before but I can't be sure. I'm thinking it's somewhere in Australia maybe?

At any rate, the mood of the sky is phenomenal... great work :)

Very nice work... I love the framing created by the covered bridge and the side railing. The silhouette is also excellent.
