The dramatic first impression of this shot is undeniable and I've been trying to decide why it "works" so immediately. I think the person with the umbrella is key to that, and the fact that the pose of the individual obscures their face just enough to give them a sense of being "lost" in the landscape, thereby making the sheer vastness of those mountains and the power of the water flowing down them in the rain that much more obviously the subject of this perspective. Without the person, the landscape would almost register "flat," but instead it has depth and grandeur. It's truly stunning, and I imagine in full resolution as a large-format print would make a wonderful exhibition feature. Congrats on a well-earned blue!

Great B/W processing. I love the contrast in the sky and on the beach with the waves coming in. My only complaint would be the halo around the rocks from processing.

Lovely scene. The color of the umbrella brings it up a notch for me.

One of my top picks. The mood here is very serene. You have perfectly paced the lighthouse and small bird to complement and balance each other.
