Judges Comment

Striking! I wonder though why you have gone so far with your “developing” of this most unusual scene. Trees swamped in the water, silhouetted against a dramatic sky with powerful lead lines from the waves which you have captured so well. The scene is naturally extraordinary and a more natural post processing would surely have made a better photograph. Contrast is too high, the whites of the water have become unreal. Natural beauty goes far beyond digital beauty, sadly you have over boosted things here.
