The clarity of the ultra-blue captures my heart immediately as I love this particular color, and the quality of the tones invites me to sit here for a while and enjoy this scene. The delicate tendrils of the clouds create the feeling of motion balanced with the infinity of the underlying almost an underwater impression. The foreground interest of the rocks give the impression of not quite knowing what to do with this part of the image. If the processing brought out the golden tones more perhaps that would help to anchor the rocks to the photo. Otherwise, those rocks sit there in a half state neither in complete detail or strong silhouette. Also, I can't figure out why you put those lines in the border on an image all about being border-less. Just my two cents...;-)

Comment by Bear_Music:
Tone on this image is terrific. The ghostly balance between midground and sky is fantastic, the way the ghosting waves echo the hint of lightness at the horizon. The foreground, however, is killing you. For an experiment, crop out the entire foreground so there's just pale water through horizon to sky, and see how much more evocative the image is. Also, you have a dust blob near the horizon halfway to the left edge from the center :-)

Nice shot!

In response to your request for comment, I feel that you've relied almost entirely on colour for this image, and the colour choice you made is not a good one.

I can make nothing of the scene from what's presented here, and so I have no feeling for it. I feel overwhelmed by what must surely be an artificial colour cast. Your decision on vignette, in my view, is misguided: you are visually clamping down on a subject matter that wants to be an open vista. Unless you have a very good reason for doing so, vignetting a vista should be avoided. The result here is slightly disorienting and subtly cramped.

the blue is so appealing in what would otherwise be a rather dull, boring shot. Nice choice.
