Crack of Dusk

Description

I enjoyed the ruggedness of the stone that was protruding out of the water, in comparison to the soft feel underwater. The print gave a drastic contrast to this effect.

Simon, the foreground rocks lead into the scene well. I like that the flow in the river shows details. The hints of sunset color in the clouds is also good, but is overwhelmed by the brightness of the clear sky.

Thank you Mark,

The highlights in the sky were not able to be saved… I tried to make it work regardless because I was really happy with the rock formation. This was a good learning lesson.
