Pretty pleased with the 12th place! Didn't think the score would drive it up here ;)

N.B. The Print that's available does not have the tube thing in it, cloned it away for obvious reasons.

Thanks for great comments, and your scores.

I wish you would have cropped into the rocks a little. There is to much foreground

Wow....This is the best picture i have seen! I love this shot, and i expessicaly like the rainbow it makes the shot perfect! The water is gorgeous and so it the rocks.

What a spectacular shot. I would prefer about 30% off the left and 5-10% off the bottom, for what it's worth. I think that doing so would place the distant cliff face at the top left for better composition, and the rainbow looks better then, being a little lower in the frame, too. (Just offering opinions, it is really spectacular as-is, too). ....8....

Overall nice picture. However it looks like it's been "overly" processed and I don't think the rocks in the forground look real. Also, I think it would have been more effective to move the main subject off center... maybe try and follow that bird. Great rainbow!

Also, I'd have cropped out the light seaweed? in the lower left and the white flaw on the skyline on the left of the mountain.

Whatever is in the lower left hand corner is distracting, I would otherwise have given it a 10.

This image really does actually make me feel as if I am looking at the beginning of time. It is an incredible image done with mastery.

This is an absolutely gorgeous shot. I love how you caught the rainbow in this image and how bright the skys look. I also like the variation of color that can be seen in the water. Nice work.

great scenery. Maybe not enough "beginning" without the title, though. Love the rainbow. Pipe in left foreground dsitracting. Also bird in top right (would have been netter if he had been flying into frame, not out of it)

This is one beautiful capture.

Beautiful photo! It all comes together in this shot. Nice detail in foreground, sun shining on mountain in background. Nice sky, a rainbow, a solitary bird flying over the ocean. Added to my favorites.

Good wow factor! Rainbow and everything! Only change is I'd crop left and put in more of what's to the right.

too bad that red wire thing is in the bottom left hand corner...would have given this a 10...5

Is that a garden hose?

Nice capture. Is that a power cord on the left. Still very pretty. Where was this taken?

Absolutely spectacular. What a depth of field, what a rainbow, what a view of that, that,... rock. Incredible. One of my favorites so far!

A bird a rainbow, the only thing i dont like is whatever is red to the left in the rocks , would have probably cropped up above that.

What's with the red thing in the corner? Nice shot.

I love the rainbow. Those are sometimes hard to get in pictures.

It's a great pic, but the cord on the bottom left is really distracting.
