I love the colours in this and the wave rolling in in the background under the patch of light in the sky.

To be totally honest, I can't decide if I find the level of contrast and the way it's been handled really powerful or really uncomfortable but it's certainly grabbed my attention. Definite top marks for creating something unusual and not run of the mill.

The colours caught my attention too - loving the contrast between the sunset and the foreground (presumably lit by bluer sky behind the camera?)

Beautiful atmosphere. I love the repeating similar shapes of the trees disappearing off into the fog.

I like the shapes created in the ice by the wire mesh here - very unusual.

Very dramatic and I like the simple comp.

I love the rust against the muted colours.

Love the colours and light - gives real power to the shot. To my eye it's even more powerful with a little crop from the left but I don't mean that as a negative particularly - just a suggestion.

I realise colour can be pretty subjective but personally I like the magenta cast. Great atmosphere created by the low cloud too.

It really does look like a creature of some kind at first glance. Very well seen.

Definitely my favourite out of the three. Great comp and light on the water.

I like the unusual choice of subject, the colours and the way it's lit. By way of hopefully helpful feedback the comp feels just a little uncomfortable to me. I'm not particularly keen on always sticking to compositional 'rules' but to my eye a crop from the right would help (not so much as to centralise the walnuts - just a bit).

I don't mean that to sound negative though - I like it either way - just trying to make suggestions.

Very eye catching. Amazing colour in those rocks.

Fantastic light and background. Personally I think it'd be even more powerful with a tighter crop.

Wow - that's really impressive and it's great that you shared all the technical detail. It sounds like your processing's been sensitive to the natural beauty of the scene and I think that shows. A really powerful shot.

Beautiful detail and background colour.

Wonderful shapes created by the curve of the snow and the shadows.

I love the simplicity of this and the fact that it's a scene that could so easily have been overlooked. I like the fact that there's just a hint of colour in the distance too.

Strong comp and the the background colour really sets off the shot.

It's the unusual comp which makes it stand out for me too. Well seen.

It's difficult to say exactly why it caught my attention, but it did. An unusual and interesting shot.

Very impressive - the focus is perfect and I really like the muted background tones in the image.

I'm not sure what the reworking involved but I definitely like the result, particularly the way the light catches the trees.

Yes - great colours and detail and I like the way the exposure balances the light from the lighthouse and the sunset.

I think it works well in panoramic format too (cropping from the bottom to about 2:1 ratio).

A really strong shot - it stood out even as a thumbnail. I particularly like the glass vs brick contrast, reflections and careful handling of colour.
