"I grew up playing the Legend of Zelda games and this photo immediately reminded me of a place I would find myself while exploring the world of Hyrule. The lushness and textures of the setting were perfectly captured and the warm tones make a very inviting image; I can almost hear birds chirping and water rushing. The blur on the moving water creates a nice sense of motion that guides the eye through the composition and makes a counterpoint to the stillness of the rest of the scene. Gorgeous work." -Ā Steve Squall
CongratulationsĀ Runner Up "Frostbite " by empty_quarter
"The cool color tones along with the rolling fog and the forbidding grey structure in this image give it an ominous beauty; I almost got cold looking at it. In a good way. I also really like the way the water was handled here; it kind of looks like a layer of spider silk is laid on top of it. Awesome image." -Ā Steve Squall

"I love the symmetry of this piece. The way the elements of the composition are arranged in horizontal strips echoes the naturally occurring lines on the rocks as well as the mirroring of the image in the water is very nice. The colors here also really stand out for me. The warmer tones in the rocks compliment the cooler strips of color in the sky and water and make a nice way for the eye to travel through the composition. Beautiful photo." -Ā Steve Squall
