Jun 15, 2011 03:03 | #2 I think the only thing missing is maybe something out on the water somewhere, like a sailboat. Other than that this a really great photo. I love the formation of those rocks.

Not sure about the exposure on the far bank though. It's very dark and I find it a bit distracting. Could maybe do with a bit of dodging in photoshop? Si

Perhaps try and bring some detail out of the foreground rocks, they are a bit dark. What spoils it for me is that stick of wood. Its completely out of place and spoils the 'mood' of the picture. Also, perhaps a slower shutter speed to smooth the water more? “Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.” ― Henri Cartier-Bresson

I agree about the wood, I wasnt happy with it... I didnt really see it when I was shooting for some reason Flickr
