Excellent. Wish I would've voted on this. Like it very much and would've expected it to ribbon.

Dang, that is VERY cool! Next time I'm out that way (most likely around December/January) I'll give you a call and you can show me the fun places!

Very unsettling and vertigo inducing. I can't get a handle on whether or not there's water & a reflection, or if this is just a weird place. Nicely done.....confusion in the viewer is always a good thing, IMO......7

less focus in the background would have given more an impression of deepness. great illumination & texture though!

very nice light. To me it feels a little too sharpened, but that is just my taste. I like all the different layers and how you set up the composition.

I like the color, but the image isn't really telling me anything

I gave two each of 10's and 9's then five 8's the rest were 7 or under. You got an 8. Not sure if it's the processing, the capture method, or the subject but it feels a little on the grainy side to me. Good lighting and colors.
