    I love the choice of black and white on this one. its gorgeous.
    For me the rock to the left and the way the water is flows it pulls you into the photo trying to see around the rock which is awesome. Incredibly done again

    WOW Mel – I think you’ve hit the jackpot with this image… to me this almost has a timeless classical appeal… would look so awesome as a large format piece for sure… Staring at this you just become mesmerized…. So wonderful and all consuming! I love the ambiguity of the image as well, as if you could be high up in the clouds so high or viewing it at sea level. This is what makes it for me…. STUNNING piece of art!
