Wow, what a great looking scene, Wieslaw. I like the lead in line created by the rocks. If I had to critique something I would say that the blues seem a bit saturated, and I do wish there was a little more detail in the water on the right hand side, but that's personal preference. The blend looks really good. Nice work.

The light really makes this sing! Definitely dial back the blues on the mountain. Excellent comp as well.

Some pretty sweet light there! The mtn looks like the shadows were recovered strongly. Also...the comp brings the eye along the rocks which is then out of the frame. Pretty amazing scenery in your neck of the woods. Rock on!

Dark, moody, dramatic and beautiful

Love the rock line in the water and the sky is wonderful. On my work laptop, the mountain seems too blue.

The light in this image has a wonderful quality about it. I would recommend that you remove a little cyan from the mountain and sky. Hope this helps.

The light you've captured both in the sky and in the reflection on the water is very rich Wieslaw. I do feel as though the rocks and the clouds in the upper left tend to "divide" the composition rather than unifying it. I think this is also because the light quality is different on the right side vs. the left side of the mountain and the rocks. It is a lovely photo, and very atmospheric, but I do wish there was a way to create a more unified composition.

Nice shot! The orange and blue tones don't quite jive for me, but maybe that is what you were going for. Regardless, this is great!

This is a great shot with tremedous dramatic light. I just can't quite get my head around how cool(blue) in comparison the mountain is.

This is a wonderful shot! The sky, the light, the smooth river, rocks...
Only minor thing, that it looks unnatural to me that the mountain in the middle is lighter than the sky around. I would try to balance that out.
Otherwise perfect.
