Very nice ground shot. It gives a sensation of big but at the same time of simplicity. great shutter control and the well lit peeks are just wonderful.

I love the shot, but unlike other critics I
find the movement of the water up front
distracting. Personal choice I guess.

What masterful control of the image. I suspect the exposure has had some kind of help, be it a dodge and burn or blend of multiple images, but the combination of highlight and shadow is superb.
