This has such a great mood, the light is so cool in it. About the only thing I would considered changing is maybe taking a step to the left to try to include the rock that is clipped on the left side of the frame. I don't mind the right side being cut in the middle as it is part of a line of rocks, but on the left you don't have that same sense as you cannot tell if it is a single rock that got chopped by the frame edge or a similar line of rocks. Other then that really minor detail, it is a great composition, and the strong diagonal of the rocks is a super element to lead your eye in the scene.
JP,
Thanks for pointing that out. I agree with you about the rock on the left.
I forgot and this is a crop for a custom print.
The rock is in the full frame, that is the way I printed it for Blake and Micah's wall.
I have shot this many times but agree, the weather makes this image. Of course the slow shutter speed helps too. I especially like the idea of using flash to bring out the detail in the foreground rocks.
Love this one, The composition works for me, no problem with the cut rock. I also like how the water has softened any detail in the rocks, giving the image a dreamier feel. The range of colors is great as well.
James, what I really like about this image is that it resembles a painting - very ethereal and the interesting contrast in colors and moods from the cooler upper left corner to the warmer tones at the bottom of the image. I think Jason's comment is valid, but I also agree it is a nit.
It also reminds me what Clyde Butcher told us - pray for bad weather!!
