Very nice. It is hard to seperate the water from the rocks though. It took me severla looks and a re-read of the title to see it.

I think this might have worked better in color.

I think this could have used a bit more black/dark grey, as it looks a little washed out right now. It should be easy to fix if you choose to do so. Still, this is a very pleasing image, and I'm sure you had to walk a good ways to get it! 7

That's a beautiful picture, it's a pity we can't actually see where the river branches

meets challenge. Like the tones but wish the contrast were a little higher - i.e. the whites whiter and the blacks blacker. Creative idea in a challenge full of uncreativeness. 6

Very nice. I think it might be more powerful in color.

This was too tall to fit on my monitor. I had to scroll to see the whole picture. This is a good subject for montone, but I would have tweaked the brightness and contrast to bring out more texture in the rocks. Also, the trees in the background tend to fade out. Maybe they should have been cropped out, but that's just me.

This looks like an amazing place. The overall composition is pleasing. I find the tones to be a little too green for my liking and I also wish there were a little more contrast.

DOF seems a bit too shallow here, and the nails are jarring to look at. Perhaps a stop down would have improved the focus for my eyes.
