I like the comp and feeling of place here. the Fog in the trees adds a nice element. The thing that is distracting is the water at the bottom of the image that is either out of focus or has strong motion blur. All of the rest of the water is is clear and nice transparent, then everything at the bottom is blurred. I like the element of the large rock at the bottom, but you might try cropping up far enough to get rid of the blurred water also.

This is a beautiful scene and you captured it well. The fog is a nice element and it adds a lot to the background and adds also some atmosphere. My only minor nit is the blurry water in the foreground. It's a bit distracting for me.

Justin,

I can see why you were compelled to stop for a while. The geology here with the sedimentary(?) layers look fascinating and also make me wonder how many millions of years old they may be. I think you did an excellent job with the composition; to me, I'm not so much bothered by the fuzzy water and that's because the rock sticking out of the water is sharp, and that tells me it's not a depth or focus issue, it's simply what the water is doing, motion, reflection, etc. Anyway, works for me.

the only suggestion I have would be to selectively burn down the bright rock faces at midground. Otherwise, no nits from me.

Nice comp and sense of movement in the blur of the foreground water.
