Wow, 7th out of almost 500. There is not a lot I can say to improve on this, so I will simply tell you what I think you did right, and what grabs people's attention.

First off, the colors are wonderful. The are cool and soothing, and the level of contrast and saturation is very near perfect. If it had been possible to boost the reddish hues in the background, that *might* have added something, but I'm not sure.

Also, the exposure is wonderful. The details in the rocks are still visible, but the nature of the water has a nice ethereal feeling to it. Likewise, the lighting (brightness and contrast) works very well.

This is a lovely landscape, and something I am sure you are very proud of.

Congrats!

Great image. My favorite in this challenge, so far. This is truly high contrast.... with no details lost in the highlights and not too many lost in the shadows. Great!
