Your depth of field is too shallow. They're a little blurry because of it. Also, you've slightly blown some of the highlights. And I'd like to see a little wider of a crop that follows the rule of thirds.

I think it would strengthen the composition slightly to crop about 10% off the right side, getting rid of that last piece of rock.

I agree with the crop that Robert mentioned. I also agree that the DOF is to shallow. Nice picture though, it seems like a good place to shoot.


I never, Not once claimed to read your post...
