Hello fellow CC member!

I like the roundness of the logs showing towards us, and the natural dark red of the wood pops out against the mossy green rocks and silky water. Ambient lighting is soft and filtered, no harsh shadows or too much glare except for a teeny bit on the water. Nice dof and good use of long exposures.

I see this though as a piece of nature framed by nature, which may have contributed to a relatively low score for this shot. Replace the logs with, say, discarded pop bottles, and I daresay you would have scored much higher. Still, a finish in the top 20% is nothing to sneeze at, so good work!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan

This image least should get into top ten. This is an awesome image.
This is image ti complex for this club or some people don't like the extra subject(people in the background) in a frame

This is a great location and you have taken an amazing shot, but I would suggest moving those two cut logs as the take away from the "natural" element of the photo...

A stunning image, but I'm such a freak I'd have moved those two saw-cut logs! LOL!!!......8

The green moss on the left and bottom really enhance your entry.
