Not beings so centered would improve it also (ie. use 'law of thirds'). Nice subject matter, but needs a foreground and not so much sky.

As a pro photographer and journalist involved also as judge, in my free time, in many amateur photo contests, book contests, etc... I'm accustomed to review average or low quality results; the vast majority of photos actually are so, while the authors always think they have created masterpieces, perhaps because they are using expensive equipment and can play around with photoshop... Reality is different. Creativity and originality belongs to very few. Let's not kid each other, a photo like Spitzkoppe wouldn't even be able to enter a mid-school photo contest.

I know Alex hates water and rocks, but I really would like to know what would impress him. Actually, I'm so glad to have a site that offers so many different points of view--pictorial and editorial. Keep us striving, Alex! Thanks, Mandy! I know Alex hates water and rocks, but I really would like to know what would impress him.

I hope to see it some day with my own eyes. The light at the top and the trees below caught my eye. Bald mountain? Very nice picture. I hope to see it some day with my own eyes.
