THANKS for not including a sunset in this. *Grin* There are so many "rocks, water, sunset" images... *sigh*

I really like the processing here.. the blue is a good choice. The composition it very good with the three water falls... I like it. (not voting yet)

for me, what really helps this past the so so into sublime is the splash of color. Salmon even! 8

Originally posted by FocusPoint: Hello from Critique Club :) First, this is not one of your good work, although probably one of your best of the fast shots. Technically, very good. Exposed right, sharp and clean. Composition, very nice, right on the money of cropping job. Post process also very good, the blur, frames... everything works very good together here. Nothing bad to say about this photo, idea and execution is well. I probably would put something different in the background, pink reflections taking a bit attention away. I would vote around 7 or 8 if I did vote. 5.9 is about correct score. Keep up the good work, you don't need much critique, you seem like know what you're doing ;) Leo

Thanks a lot Leo for your good critique - it's much appreciated.

Composition: Awesome composition. The only thing I can complain is that the man looks like he is leaning forward instead of standing up strait. Also, there is some spots on the rocks below the waves, I wish that it was all black instead of seeing a little bit of the rock's texture. Other than that, the composition is absolutely perfect. Subject: To me, there really isn't any specific subject... the whole image tells a story. Creativity: I can tell you put a lot of thought into this photo. I love how you put the woody on the man's shoulder. Improvements: Besides the few things I mentioned in the composition portion, this photo needs NO improvements. My Thoughts: Wow... This is an amazing photo. The photo tells a story and casts a beautiful seen. I almost feel like I am there watching the sunset. I can hear and smell the sea. I can also feel the wind. The photo also also reaches me at an emotional level as well. I feel calm and collected. Overall, this photo should have received first place in my opinion. You are a great photographers and this photo was so well done that I feel that I am not qualified to critique it. I hope my critique has been helpful. Cheers, Ron

Many thanks Ron for your good critique - it's much appreciated.

I love how the colour is just in one spot. The tree is so barren looking in a barren landscape but we have that bright spot of warmth that gives hope.
