Very nice image. I find it calming and wise. It seems like you might have editted this stone, but I hope not and I'm not going to recommend you for dq or anything. It's a great image. 9

Well seen. An effective shot. I wonder if it would be more effective with greater DOF in the background?

The image says it all!!! No title was necessary. I liked the idea that you incorporated your sign with the back ground image. Advanced thinking skills. The color of the sign and the black background and image works absolutely great together. I am shocked you did not score higher.The cropping everything works. No less than a (9) from this judge. JG

Thanks for the CC review Manic. Very much appreciate the time you took to do this throrough review! Yes, I agree, diferent lighting would have really helped this shot. Unfortunately I dont have the chance to get out too often, and I hit this in the late afternoon. Definitely agree that having some lighting on the forground cliff would have helped a lot. As for the post-processing. Yes, I played with the levels and saturation extensively before deciding upon the final product. It was a very hazy day that afternoon, and what you see here is about as good as I could get it withough creating some very unrealistic blueing effects throughout the entire photo. Wish I had a UV filter. Thanks again, and keep tose great reviews coming!
