Hi Keith, I really love this image, and have now added it to my favorites..... I have just become a full member of DPC, and also realized that your camera is the same as mine, which took this super shot. I also have a Kodak DX6490, and only recently realized just how good a camera it is..... Once again, I just love this image, so thank-you.....

I agree. This is superior because of the tension bear identified. As a result, one cannot simply pass by; it demands some involvement from the viewer. Great image, Keith! |

Love it. Worth the wait and getting up so early! There is certainly a feeling of mystery and calm to the photo. Thanks for sharing and congrats Firsty |

I'm sorry, but this doesn't deserve 2nd place, however, a spectacular-looking photograph, maybe 3rd place would be better and the photo in 3rd place could be 2nd :) SORRY! |

Stunning photo! Isn't that a great little camera? I'm sorry I ever let mine go. Although I know someone else is enjoying it as much as I did (and I always highly recommend Kodak). |

I so nearly went back the next morning with a ladder after i had edited this shot for just that reason :)
and your shot would still have killed mine |

Very dreamy, indeed! Looks like one of those surreal worlds you'd find in a video game or something. |

I really like this, it's moody and atmospheric. The crop seems a little severe at the top, but I trust your judgement;) |

Pretty cool, not quite an 10 from me but as close as can be. I don´t know why exactly I don´t wanna give it a 10 but it just feels a bit wrong composition wise, a little bit to cramped for my taste, without having seen the rest of the scene I feel somehow like I would have liked a wider shot better. Still an awesome shot and like I said, gave it a 9 and I don´t give out many of those. |

I still don't know what to think about this one. It has a strange "Restaurant at the End of the Universe" feel to it. The colours, composition and "smoky" water look great. So, 9 from me. |

One of those naturally beautiful places in nature. I am amzed at the warm feeling this image creates throught its subject of steam on the water. |

Yes!! not even the top ten.... this is the Award Wining photograph... and if not the top 3 others may not agree but i 100% gurantee. the composition, the work of art, the lighting, the simplicity, the colors, its all there..... and i gave you a 10+ because you make the other challengers look like fools
excellent execution |

I wish this shot were all natural materials... somehow the platform detracts, to my eye. It's a beautiful image of the scene, though. |
