Thanks Kylie, where's your shot? Don't tell me you haven't taken any photos lately! :-)

And thank you, everyone, for your comments. I wasn't expecting to do this well. I was going to go to Yosemite for the weekend, but friends convinced me to go to the coast with them. And then when I got home, I only had a few minutes to edit the photo and submit it. My plan is to keep submitting to every challenge as long as I can take a photo that is at least remotely related to the challenge topic.

This is a very interesting image. The time of say is just not the best since it leaves a great deal of the image struggling in the 1st zone. By looking at the sky one wonders how such 10th zone tones appear so generous in the water. The composition is good. 6

I'm amazed i didn't comment on this; I gave it a 10. Jackson Pollock with a light pen, is how it looked to me, but the sheer depth of it is palpable. I was surprised it didn't score much higher...

Nice setting and good range. Maybe a little to much dodging of the shadows on the rocks.

Beautiful place! I wish I could see a little more detail in the trees on the right. Very nice shot!

You did almost everythig right here. But unfortunatly only almost. Good foreground, great main feature the bridge and a fantastic sky. Composition ==> first price. However in my oppinion you wasted a golden oppertunity to make a whow photo here. I think your hand was to heavy on the contrast button. The white on the water is competing to be the main feature, but clearly it is not. The trees at the right are to dark almost getting lost and the rocks in the water are just a dark spots. Go back there and re-shoot and think of the finished picture when pressing the trigger. You will see a difference.
