Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hello Sir! Are we about ready for the WPL 2? I know my team is, LOL!
But this is about this stunning shot here. I love this. I didn't get a chance to vote in this challenge but had I this would have easily gotten an 8 from me. But I see it finished around a 5.8? What is wrong with these people?
Well, upon further investigation and looking three things jump out at me and really talk to me.
One is the noise in the lower right corner, not sure if it's the texture of the rock in that area or what but it looks very noise in there and that is a bit of a distraction.
Second was the dark area in the upper left corner. Almost looks like it started being a vingette but then stopped. Can't tell if it's the sky or burning in the PP. Again, a bit distrating.
And third was the over sharpening of the tree outline to the sky. It looks almost cut and pasted, not sure exactly why.
I think you succeeded in the Ansel Adams style of photography with the exception of the three little things I mentioned. Again. Great shot!
Good luck in future challenges and I hope my comments help!

| Great BW tones and sharpness. The trees counteract some of the effect of the stark, dry, riverbed. |

| Could this be in England. Droughts must be going on all over the world. Although the trees look well textured you have managed to portray desolation in my opinion. |

| Is this an IR photo? It's hard to see drought. The foreground could be water or mud just as well as dessication. |

| I like the drama and the contrast. It appears that some detail is lost in the white areas? |

| Nice use of tones. Only the top left corners seems a bit too dark. |

| I'm wondering if this wouldn't work better with some muted coloring. |

| Nice composition and tones. There's some banding in the sky but not a huge deal. |
