Welcome to NPN, Phil! I appreciate your picture, especially the details and delicate light on the rocks in the foreground, as well as the warm and bright light, vanishing from the left to the right in the background.

This is really a sweet comp, Phil. Could see burning down the darker values in the lower right to add more drama to the water.

I love the repetition of form in this shot, Phil. Those rocks in the distance seem to echo the lovely stones in the foreground, so the scene seems cohesive. The rich colors in the sky are beautiful - and the reflected color in the water adds to that sense of cohesiveness I mentioned already. I'd like to see a little more detail in those rocks in the distance - if the shadowed areas of the foreground rocks shows detail, the distant rocks seem to be too black... though I know that's difficult to deal with when you are shooting a scene with such a broad dynamic range.

Overall, this is excellent. VERY nice.

Great shot! I like the dark rocks in the back, their shape mimics the foreground rocks.

This is really pretty, Phil. Great colors and I like the light on the foreground rocks a lot. Reflection looks great too. Nice work.

This is a strong image. I like the color and water trace and especially the rocks near and far.

Welcome, and a very nice first post. I do see what appears to be a grad filter used because the top half is so much darker. That's easily fixed to maybe balance the light from foreground to background a bit more. Excellent comp and beautiful color.

I'm really taken with this shot. The texture.. the color contrast.. the highlights in the rocks. Absolutely gorgeous.
