"This is a very nice image, which captures a beautiful convergence of light and form. I like how the shape of the rounded cove along the shoreline mimics the shape of the clear patch of sky. Many of the shapes in the clouds provide nice symmetry with the rocks, sea, and mountains. Great light, too. The crepuscular rays are a nice touch. " - Alex Mody
"This is a very beautiful, surreal and otherworldly photo. I love the dreamy, soft water, and the contrast it provides with the sharp, contrasty rocks. The moon is in perfect position, and I really enjoy the subtle stars in the sky. I think it was a very good to go monochrome on this one." - Alex Mody
