Comment by Azrifel:
The gradation in the sky on top suffers a bit from 8-bit jpeg but all other aspects (especially the composition) of the photograph are pretty good. The colors don't have such a strong impact on me, they are a bit blah. The person has a oversharpening halo. 7

Comment by mycelium:
reminiscent in some ways of heida's "dark land"
oversharpening on the figure really detracts from this image--this problem is easily avoidable by duplicating the layer to be sharpened, and then masking off/erasing the figure.

Comment by ajschel:
I like the person in the picture, but am also wondering how it would look without... overaal, great colours and contrast. Only thing bugging me is the sky: it looks manipulated and doesn't match the reflection in the water. Composition is great.

Very nice! I wish he was standing up straighter for some reason, but otherwise one of my favorites so far.

Comment by Tranquil:
Back to comment. I hope that this wins as it is absolutely beautiful. Instead of raising your ego with what I liked about it (which was basically editing) the aspects of it that I feel detract are the following: 1. The halo around the man standing is distracting and is the only major flaw. 2. I think that the other piece of rock/mineral on the water to the left of the man's reflection is not necessary and is just visually incongruent with the rest of the composition.

Mind you, these are only small nitpicks that I saw to give a sort of "constructive critique". Best of luck to you --- 10.
