So moody! I love it. Is this that infamous tree in Lake Wanaka?

Rays on Ruins

Those light beams are amazing! The scene is beautiful. I think playing around with the shadows to lift them a bit, specially on the building, would make this photo much better. I would have loved to see you dodge and burn a bit to take advantage of the amazing light rays and make them illuminate, as it were, the building.

Fun concept. The image is a bit flat with little contrast. More light and tonal contrast and less HDR would be useful to make it pop.

Beautiful scene; you nailed the exposure. It could use a bit more vibrance and saturation, along with some doging and burning, to make the rocks and the building pop.

I love the moody scene with the long exposure. The movement of the clouds really draw the eye to the castle.

Thanks! No, it was some random guy. I had no idea who he was but he was all alone sitting there. Afterwards I talked to him and showed him the photos.

I didn't actually vote on at least 20% (I got too freaked out halfway through) but I did give this image a 10. I clicked on it, looked away for something or other and then when I looked back at the screen I nearly jumped out of my skin. I am not particularly afraid of clowns but this one really made me jump. His expression is just creepy. Good job!
