Nature's jiggsaw - II

I like the concept, here, Roel, but I think it looks a little flat--it could use a bump in contrast and perhaps some tweaking of saturation to pop the color a bit. I like the textures and the detail.

I like Preston's suggestions and would be curious to see it bumped.  

I like this. Has a pleasing monochromatic, graphic look. I agree with the suggestions to play around with increasing the mid-tone contrast and bumping up the saturation. I would also play with the temp to see what a cooler rendering would look like.

That's an interesting wall, Roel.  I really like the smaller round stones tucked in among the ledges and holes.  I like the suggestions to play with mids and maybe pop it a bit. Well seen.

Yes, indeed, this is a great collection of shapes and textures, Roel.  There's a fine balance with the transitions from lots of small cracks and layers in the upper left to the larger, smoother textures in the lower right.  The textures and subtle colors look great.  Just for fun, I wonder how this would look if you really pushed the contrast hard to make it much more abstract.  I'm not sure that would be better, just different.

Hi Roel,

I am digging the the shapes, lines and textures in this fine image. The study of rock shape and form is top notch in this capture.

I had a thought for you. Have you tried to really push contrast, clarity or structure, whites, black, and anything else you can think pof to see what you come up with? Heck  maybe even a black and white conversion could be cool.

Roel, your framing of this abstract intimate scene is spot on to my eye. I especially enjoy the three dimensional feel to it. The image was obviously taken under diffused lighting conditions, and the subtlety in your presentation fits in well in my opinion. You convey your personal experience of this moment in a convincing way to me.

While it would certainly be interesting to see how greater contrast worked ( and you may already have rejected that idea ) this works for me as is.  A perfectly seen abstraction from this rock formation - the rocks seeming to move like waves over the depths.
