Neat textures and colors to this. Not much to grab my interest otherwise, but hey, it's a rock.

Earth Origins - Visual Lesson 1

Awesome scene, but it struck me as a little soft, so I looked at the file size. Only 80k when you could have used up to 150k. I think the softness I perceive is due to excessive JPEG compression taking away some detail. Always use the least amount of compression you can but still squeeze in under the challenge limit. I expect this will do fairly well in the challenge in spite of the compression. In fact, I will probably be the only one to notice and comment on it.

This appears to be a very popular cave. How does anyone get a decent shot with all the other photographers in the way?

An interesting scene, though my eye is not really being guided toward anything in particular.

Wonderful scene. The only nitpick I might have is the way you composed it with the two trees right at the edge of the frame.

Fossilization

DOF seems a touch shallow for the subject, and the shot overall seems a bit dark to me. Interesting subject and good colors and detail on it.

Makes me think of the children's book "Stone Soup".

It's a good thing photographing these does not wear them out!

Yup, I knew someone would use this challenge for a landscape! Gorgeous scene, and I suppose it does fit. Watch your JPEG compression levels. I see some compression artifacts in the sky near the edges of the mountains, and a 70k file size says you had plenty of overhead to avoid it,

Kind of cool looking, though I have no sense of scale.
