The warm tones and atmosphere of this beautiful shot are reminiscent of the last round's winning picture. You have used the natural lines in this scene to great effect, all converging on the mountain far right and bringing so much depth to the photograph. I love the raspberry sunset (or sunrise) and strangely the foot prints which bring an anchor to the otherwise fleeting foreground. You have captured a beautiful palette of harmonious colours and composed such a peaceful, remote and balanced image. Well done. I feel the darker areas in the top corners, particularly to the top left, are a little annoying within such a light filled scene.

My name is Mathias. I'm an amateur photographer from Germany with aprox. 2 years of experience. The photo was taken on Haukland Beach, Lofoten, Norway in april 2012. I liked the green tidal pool and the fantastic sunset colors in the sky. It was a remarkable evening with my first aurora borealis at the end. Unforgettable, beautiful...awesome! I used a Nikon D90 with a 10mm ultra wide lens and a graduated neutral density filter. You are right with the top left corner...an other reason to go back there and make it better next time...
