Lovely colors and vivid lines. In the larger version, the little piles of needles provide a nice contrast to the rest of the image.

Ronald, I'm really enjoying this image! Wonderful shapes, lines and textures throughout. The light and shadows working great together helping define the shapes. Very nice work!

I like the graphic lines in the image and the way that they keep my eye moving throughout the frame.  The subtle color and texture works well here as well.  Overall, I would recommend increasing the contrast as it just looks a bit flat to me.  Nicely done overall.

Ronald, I like the diagonal framing here, this is a very dynamic composition. I also like the earth tone colors in the rocks, they are very pleasing. In terms of processing, I think your mid-tones look good, but I agree with Brian, I would add some contrast and darken your shadow areas a bit, they look a little flat as presented.

Real nice rock abstract. These are tough to compose and pull off and you have done it quite nicely.

Lovely image. I really appreciate the natural colors of the stone, which in this light are quite beautiful. There are other comps in here that make for stronger  comps, but the way the top gets narrower gives a good sense of what we are seeing.

Hi Ron,

I like what you have produced here.  The transition from less to more diagonals makes this comp very nice.  Well done...............Jim
