The contrasts and the icy blues make this sing. The highlights just put it over the top. Fantastic image!

Fantastic light, wonderful color and a great comp. I love the blue tones with this light and some very nice detail really shows it off. Very nice work, Winnie.

The highlites definitely elevate this from merely a good shot to one that is super cool!

It reminds me a very similar shot I did in Maine - but I did not have boulders this cool shaped. Great one Winnie

Love the blues and the light red highlights. And the textures of the rocks are great. Excellent image.

Love the detail, texture and form, the light and shadow, Winnie. That touch of sunset light only adds to the beauty of this exquisite composition.

Wonderful!! Great composition as basis, but the light is great too. The carves, scratches and lines on the pebbles add an extra viewing experience. Very good work!

This is beautiful Winnie, the arrangement and composition of the rocks is perfect. I can only echo the comments made about the light. I really like this. Great shot.

Wonderful composition. The light is magical and I love the details all over. Personally I might desaturate the blues on the very left to keep the colors somewhat closer together.

Beautiful image Winnie. The soft touch of light really makes this one nice. I also like the white veins on the rock which is just right of center.
