I really like the sculptured look of the rock. I haven't decided whether I like the green leaves or not. They are a good color complement....But, I'm wondering if this would look better in BW or Sepia........... :smile:

I like this shot...colored w/such excellent light to bring out the little modulations atop the rock surface. At first thought, I would crop the left side w/ green ...it is a completely different comp with it ....but, it does show scale and w/o something like it..my eye would wonder if this was taken as an aerial shot from a plane ...or what. So kinda befuddled what to recommend. So I'll just say, "Nice shot!"

Chet, really like the earthy colors, patterns and light, and the comp works very well. Great shot.

A fun shot and the inclusion of the green plants to break it up is used very well.

Interesting structure and scale. Even the plants don't detract from the abstract appearance.

This could have been a great image had it been in very sharp focus.

Unfortunately, at least in my view, it is falls so short in that respect that it fails in its whole intent.
