this is a great picture. i'm glad that you included the sun in the corner so we know where the light is coming from. i also like the coloration of the image.

Beautiful scenery and you captured it well. I think it would of been more powerful if you would of cropped the bottom just above the people and applied a little usm 85/2/1 to bring out more contrast in the cliff edges. Good capture 7

Great light and composition. Looks a little off level, but a great shot none the less.

Great image. Lots for the eye to see. The warm, soft color of the sunset, the bridge, the mountain and they kayaks. Very nice.

that's good advice!

now, please bear with me. voting this challenge is extremely difficult, not just because of the size, but because we are dealing with images that people consider their best. it makes even constructive criticism hard...

i appreciate what you're attempting to deliver here, but it somehow feels off. parts of the image seem a bit over-processed (which makes it seem too 'unreal'), while other parts seem to be very rough (as if you are asking your camera to do more than it is capable of). the lighting is a tad strong. i hope you are getting some good comments and suggestions, and not being overlooked in this monster-sized challenge. maybe just consider this a starting point for the rest of the year. good luck with this and the challenges yet to come!
