Lovely, especially the colour on the water and how far back your eyes can go over the hills. My one nitpick: There is a slight whitish line at the left hand border and into the bottom left of the pict, and at the top right corner. Where is this? ~9

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

I quite like this photo. I think it's very interesting and it clearly fits the challenge.

I think the sepia tint works very well for this image making it look like it was taken in another age. I have mixed feelings about how the photo is cropped. I like the crop because I think it shows the vastness of the mountains and river, however, i do agree that cropping some off the top of the photo would have made it follow the Rule of Thirds more closely. Just enough cropping to take the sky out of the shot would make it a much more powerful photo.

I see some digital noise in the photo, but sometimes that can be hard to avoid. You may try using a program like Neat Image (a free trial can be downloaded). While Neat Image is overused and can lead to unnatural looking photos, it does help with the noise.

All in all, I think this is a very good photo in need of just a couple of minor adjustments.

Good luck in future challenges!

neat idea, but it seems to need a bit more light to really pull it off. There is no sparkle to your crystal.

This makes a lovely abstract because of your simple and effective composition and lighting.
