After along walk on the moors I came across this area at sunset. Got the power tourch out and started to paint the rock area over a long exposure. Add a bit of colour change on PS and the heart rock is born.

Greetings front the Critique Club:

This is a very interesting entry in a challenge I didn't really engage with. I like how your light painting has done more than just illuminate something; it has created new meaning and transformed your subject. That, coupled with the dreamy glow-like grass and the nicely coloured sky all contribute to a very convincing image.

Look at your histogram too - I nice peak in the 6s and a 10 spike. An image that certainly resonated with more than a few.

In terms of a critique, although you probably were horizontal, the lines of the clouds tricks the eye and I think a bit of counter-clockwise rotation might have sat a little more easily with the fussy.

Overall though - very nice indeed.

I like the ephemeral quality to this piece. I love the color pallet which combines hot yellow and oranges of the sunset with the cooler landscape and rocks.

This has such a mystical, fairy tale feeling about it. I adore the foreground, but feel that the distant, "regular" horizon is from a different image. Although it could also make this be a magical spot in the real world, I feel it detracts from the image.

Superb, great atmosphere, such power and stillness in them there stones.
