First Impressions
(Deja Vu) I admired this briefly the other day and my first impression then was: a beautiful image with a well done long exposure, featuring one of my favorite birds, but the geology aspect wasn't as dominant as I'd like to have seen for the Challenge, but only slightly. The image of course shows good formations, but there are other fine elements within the image that compete for center stage.
Photograph Information, Technicals & Composition Review
Composition is very good, perhaps a little more visual balance by a little more height in the rear rock and a slightly tighter crop at the bottom, not sure - but of course, with the bird in this position and the flow of the waves - some things cannot be 'shifted'.
The lighting on the rocks, especially at the rear, is nice and warm and shows the surface and details well. The control of the whites looks very good and it sounds like you notched it up just right in pp.
It's good to hear you printed a larger version of this and are content with it.
Comments, Score & Placement Review
As I've said before: first place, can't complain. 7.25 I see is your new PB, so well done with this excellent score. You won the hearts of most of your commenters.
Summary
A rare opportunity well captured - you produced a very serene and gentle image that shows the constance and harmony between geology and other elements of nature. |

i chuckled at the "i hope this is not DNMC". See, when I first saw the photo, i thought "this is so not EROSION". I think I gave it maybe a 4. Then I stared at it, and it dawned on me that it was erosion, and that the picture is really amazing. I hated it at first because im sooo sick of the water-motion blur-beach photos. But this one is different. And I gave it a 10.
After that novel....CONGRATS! |

Love this shot. Great Falls is a worthly location for a geology study. Movement and stillness all in one. And that is what Erosion is all about.
Congratulations on the ribbon. |

Thank you all for the generous votes and comments. This was an exciting week, the close score with this and Ja-9 made for a worn out mouse and a tired photographer.
stelalie Thanks for the critique. Your right, adding a bit of contrast helps out a lot. |

| The long exposure over the rocks works well, and the bird, in the bottom corner, although small, adds to the image as well, making it about more than just a long exposure.......... |

| Obviously, you've perfected the coveted flowing water effect. Unfortunately, some gentle vibrations seem to have run through your camera and your rocks appear to be blurry. I also feel this could use a little more contrast as the forerocks and crane seem a little too light. |

Oooh... so lucky you have an egret heron (<-duh) in this shot, otherwise I would have rolled my eyes and moved on ;)
