That is a battered old tree. The overall effect is pleasant though.

*Critique Club*
Aimee! Your pic was given to me to critique for the Critique Club.
As I always state, I'm in no way a pro at this. I just like pictures. I must say I'm honored to be able to critique one of your pics. I'm developping a sequence to my critiquing, so here goes...
What your pic made me feel: I feel a sense of awe. Wow...how small we are. I can hear the stream, feel the wind. The echo of the rock hitting the bottom of the cave...That guy up there threw it.
What I like about your submission: I like the composition. I think it fits the challenge real well. Nothing in there is overpowering. It's well balanced. I like what you achieved with the lighting. Nice soft natural light with Sun rays peeking through. The Sun leaves brightness and shadows though! I kinda like the cave ceilling in the top left. I find it frames your cave.
What I like a bit less: The patch of sunlight on the ground and in the stream. It gets that part overexposed...But... I know there's not much you can do about that! Same thing for the sky, but to a lesser degree.
I'm trying to figure this out myself. I almost always end up with a blown out or cyan sky! I'm really wondering how this would've come out in HDR. Would be interesting.
I think the comments you got were spot on. To quote xXxscarletxXx: "Absolutely beautiful" Good job!!!

Taking a second peek at a handful of images from the challenge... I didn't notice the people at the top! Without reading your comments I probably wouldn't have seem them - you're right, the cave IS huge. ;^)

Pretty decent score and finish - congrats!
