I really like this image, but find that the link to the topic is rather thin. It doesnt feel weathered to me (I took weathered to mean well used).
Also, I think this would look a lot better had you used the maximum dimensions allowed under the rules (and would look even better under even larger dimensions).
This picture doesn't look like it's taking advantage of the maximum size allowed on challenges, typically larger pictures have better impact, at least on voters. It really is quite pretty.
A wonderful scene :)
Though it seems a shot of weather itself rather than weathered. If we could see the rocky coast there, would consider this more attune to weathered. Still, congrats on getting the shot. (no vote)
