Nice. Could've done with a bit more contrast, but I like the composition here. The roots are a great touch. 7/10. IMHO really does need some bolder post-processing. Good capture anyhows.
I think if the clouds were burned on this one it would be more powerful. I love this stark look but the clouds are a bit too plain. I would be really interested in trying to edit this after the challenge is over (if you don't mind). Good luck.
I'm only about 15% of the way through all the images in this huge challenge, but I had to stop to say that this one took my breath away. It is absolutely stunning.
[Back to say that this is one of my 2 10's. There were so many great images in this contest that I should have given more 10's, but this and my other favorite are so far above the pack, IMO, that I could share the high scores with any others!]
Compared to the darkness of the ground, I find the sky to be a little flat. Maybe a slight contrast enhancement in the sky only would add a little more drama and impact?
