very nice. a little more rock or no rock might improve it, because i first want to know what that dark thing is and it irritates me that i have to stare at it for a second to figure out that it is a rock and not a whale or something. i love the peak in the background, how at first you don't notice it and then wow when you see it. maybe that's what the black rock it there for, to get your attention.

very nice. Crop the rock out, makes a stronger/simpler composition IMO.

Hooray! What an AWESOME shot! This is my "Alan's Surefire Pick of the Week" shot (I'm 2/3 in making this prediction in past challenges). I expect to see this on the front page of the new DPC2! The layering of different areas of the landscape is incredible; the blue water is beautiful; the cloud adds perspective, and the snow-capped mountain literally tops it all off. I'm looking forward to learning where this was taken. Is this a volcano? It reminds me of Mt. Vesuvius in Italy when we visited a few years ago. -- alansfreed -10

This is just great. I love the watercolor effect of the layered hills and the mountain. Fits the challenge, no technical troubles... 10 ~indigo997

Oh my God! Is that a whale popping up??!?!? Where were you for this one!? Your blues are crisp and rich. The dark to light transition is pleasing to the eye. 9 kosmik

Awesome pic. I guess it helps to have a volcano near your house, just for this sort of occasion. Great work. 8
