Hi Craig, i found this one a perfect example of how important a POV is. Your choice gives a great depth and let the eyes travell from de fg to bg. Thanks

There's no doubting your technical competence here Craig - well composed, nice and crisp, spot-on exposure, but unlike some of your other work, this one doesn't really 'grab' me. I don't think the shapes of the rock formations are really strong enough to hold the attention, and the light is a little flat. And a wonky horizon, he he - the bane of my life as well, when there's any water in the frame.
I'm only being so critical because I know the high standard of work you're capable of producing - I hope you won't be offended by my honest response to your image.
Cheers,
Ben

Very beautiful composition. The colors are very good, the sharpness is great and the POV is perfect.

I am not with Ben on this one... I don't think the light is flat at all and I do like the vertiginous take into the water and through these patterned rocks. I like this composition very much and find it quite original. The almost clear sky is a nice balance to such amount of detail in the bottom 2/3 of the picture. I find this photo very balanced Craig. The only ifs are the tilted horizon and the absence of yellows here (looks like you desaturated them). It works for me!
