*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

Congratulations on your top ten placing for your landscape that is assumed to meet the challenge.

Your lens has really emphasised the rocky foreground so that the unique nature of the rocks becomes a major part of the image. I like your use of the puddle to reflect the buildings too, it works well. The suns rays are also a nice element that adds to the overall result.

I know I am in a minority here but I am not keen on the HDR processing, I prefer a more natural looking exposure. I am pleased for you that it has been well received and has done so well especially given the competitive nature of the challenge, well done, Sid
