Lovely, Mark. I like the way the wet around the rock foreground looks almost like plastic. Congrats on Top Ten.

I expect to see this in the top 10, if not a ribbon. My favorite part is the puckered texture of the water flowing around that rock in the bottom right. It's a minor detail that makes the image for me.

I think the colour and texture of the water and rocks are great. A perfect sun might have added to it, but a less than perfect capture of it rather detracts. 6

Nice smoothness of the water, it makes me miss California. Excellent color.

great use of the sun:) i like the rock close up in the foreground

Effective use of shutter speed and aperature to control the background. A good solid commercial shot. There are actualy two images here if it were split in two vertically which is always a plus. The font is a good selection, placement is perfet and the overall laid back impression is positive. Well done.
