A great view, wonderfully sharp (perhaps a touch too sharp?). I find my eye drawn in by the path.

Interesting colors - just three tones - blue, black and white. It works. I like all the textures too. It does seem oversharpened to me as I can see a white line along the edge of the mountains.

Comment by marbo:
Very nice scene with good colours but looks a bit over sharpened or it could just be the intense whites doing that.

Comment by e301:
Compositionally strong - that open space leads into the lagoon and the mountain nicely. The slight wide-angle element really helpes this - a classic approach, but always effective. A minor point, but I wonder if you couldn't have framed things a little better - take the mountain more to the left of frame say, and perhaps that foreground lump to the right, to add a diagonal line to the image as well? What this sufferes from, to my mind, is a lack of detail, and that hurts it quite a bit: whether it's from re-sizing, or your camera, or compression, or over-sharpening, or just the original image is impossible to tell, but something has made most of the foreground very blocky (small blocks, but still ...) and that would be the element you need to add to get this shot seriously amongst the high scores. It's odd, because the sky feels like it still has good detail. I think you've pushed the exposure just too far, also - the highlights have 'gone', and that might well be contributing to that lack of detail also. It's good though - despite those points - and without more information impossible to really suggest how things might be improved.

Great photo, wish the horizon was a bit straighter.
