Greetings from the Critique Club!

Wow, what an improvement in terms of technique from the last time I critiqued an image of yours. Always heartening to see my advice being taken seriously!

This is absolutely gorgeous - it looks like what Cuttooth would produce if he went to Iceland as this is very like his style with the focus stacking, lovely colours and contrast of dark tonal rocks with cold swirling fog/clouds, shot during a lovely warm orange/red sunrise/sunset. And that's a huge compliment, I'm sure Mark is way up there in terms of overall ribbon winners here.

Composition is great, nice high horizon, there aren't any blown-out highlights (though towards the right it does start to teeter in that direction but doesn't fall into the abyss) and you got a sheen to kill for on the rocks - that is just magical. I do believe you've found your stride, now keep it up! And congrats on a very well-deserved top ten finish, you just barely were squeezed out of an HM. Next time....;-)
