South Tufa Sunrise

There are so many different speeds happening within this shot. The clouds racing by overhead, the time tested endurance of the rocks, and the calm tranquility of the water reflecting it all upon its mirrored surface. I am impressed with how you captured 3 individual focal points that could be subjects each of their own, the sky, the pond, and the rocks, but you managed to keep the focus completely on the subject of the shot, the rocks themselves. Both the movement of the water and the sky lead your eyes directly to them, this was to me an awesome way to guide the eyes into the photo much like coming out of a tunnel and seeing the view.
I find the look of a very open-air chill with a hint of the morning's warmth to be just as vivid as the colours themselves within the photo's landscape.

In any case, I don't have any real negative critique to add to this shot other than the idea of mixing all these elements together is a recycled one. You still pulled this off beautifully and added so much depth within the shot that it doesn't feel like you are sitting back and gazing at the image as much as standing in the image and looking out. Very impressed, this is superb! ^_^
