		| | Greetings from the Critique Club! 
 Initial impression: Colours are almost surreal, but especially with that sky looming overhead, I don't see why they couldn't be natural.
 
 Technical: Very open and dramatic, like the pov with the cliffs appearing to vanish from underneath your feet.  Not too crazy about what appears to be a lot of tonemapping on the sky, the clouds look a bit soft, and cliff to left looks almost a little flat by comparison to rest of image.
 
 Artistic: Like the way you got the two islands at the thirds on the right.  Good work on the colours, the richness of the water does not look overdone imho.
 
 Overall: Nice picture, could be a postcard.  I feel the voters objected more to the level of pp than anything else.
 
 Good work!
 
 Feel free to PM me with any questions,
 
 Susan

		| | The colors appear to be almost too boosted - giving the a surreal, neon quality. Beautiful shot & perspective. |

		| | Unfortunately your processing, while making the water look cool, really shows up on the cliff to the lower left. |
