Elisha, I can be wrong due to my not knowing the area but the horizon where the sky meets the water seems to be tilted...or is this a river where there are suprising curves which can add different angular aspects to the frame?
But the place and the texture on that piece of enduring rock is beautiful!
Thanks for sharing,
Yildiz
Thanks. It was shot on a moving boat and I tried my best to straighten the Old Man of the Island as he is called so that probably messed up the natural horizon instead.

Thank you Elisha,
Now I understand better. No wonder it's called The Oldman of the Island!

Amazing frames Winston, Bakubo, Bossel...
It's amazing that water, on Earth or in the sky has the incredible artistic touch.

This is one i'd forgoten I had posted before and fits here.
The Mud is called terra cotta and they make bricks. the pattern was formed by glaciers then covered with topsoil and forest. when the farmers cleared the forst the rain and weather exposed this underneath.

Re: Challenge 16:“Rain Crafts, Terrain Drafts”- In Judging Phase
Welcome to the results announcement of one of our most successful challenges, Challenge 16: “Rain Crafts; Terrain
Drafts”.
General overlook:
Photography is a wonderful, irreplacable art form in telling of the true story of a selected subject by the photographer. He/she can bend the truth by narrowing the perception or dwell on a magnitude factor to give a more whole story by bringing together a mosaic of details.
This challenge pretty much comprises entries doing exactly that. Each photo bears significant characteristics of a phenomenon that surrounds ‘sand’ as it slowly emerged through an era of glaciers, shaped by rain and dyed by bleeding of iron oxide and other dye-producing elements or a phenomenon that only can be achieved through the deflection of light.
If anything, this challenge has been very enlightening and educational on the geological history of intricate rock formations, particularly of those located in North America.
Thank you all very much!
The selection criteria :
* A sense of understanding and approach for the particularities of the subject.
* A good sense of composition.
* A will for innovative approach.
* Good post-processing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The winner of the challenge is Winston with his photo of “Big Spring Canyon”.
The judges also renamed this photo as “On-looking Postmen Of the Canyon” and “Diving Boards” for bearing resemblances to round human faces wearing vintage postman’s hats watching over the canyon and delivering the canyon’s timeless silent tale...
The photo is of a naturally-formed trail of metamorphosed sedimentary rocks that harmonize with the colour of the sky while outlining the ‘Postmen’. The overcast appearence of the sky provides the advantage of good light that produces good details on the vegetation and rock formations. It allows for the identification of the diferent types of rocks, be them the granite, sedimentary rocks or the iron-oxide-dyed sandstones.
It has no highly-contrasting or saturated processing but has a distinctive mildness that suits the nature of that particular environment’s aesthetic.
Thank you for your participation Winston.
Congratulations!

Re: Challenge 16:“Rain Crafts, Terrain Drafts”- In Judging Phase
Well done Winston. I really like the "feel" of your picture - as Yildiz says, there is a quality to the contrast etc. which has a crystal clear, looking through an open window feel about it.
I am intrigued by the Postman's hat I'm not sure I can remember UK postmen in hats. Did they used to have a sort of peaked affair, a bit like an old fashioned bus conductor, or train guard? Yildiz, you will have to post a picture of a Turkish Postman now

Hi Birma,
What you worry about may and probably will be my very own problem in an attempt at shooting a vintage Turkish postman's hat! The modern costume provides a baseball-hat-like piece which is not much help in the winter. Have to visit a museum to see one of the vintage ones that resemble what the police are wearing on the street in the U.S.A. They used to be cute... I remember my days when I used to call to those postmen with those vintage hats from the garden(they were replaced only a few years ago to my dismay which makes them look awkard) "Uncle postman, anything in the mail bag for us?" and they would smile and call back "the day will come!"
Tweetting days, they were of mine. Nowadays, no such sweet relations can be established and most of my mail comes by e-mail bacause I'm registered with them as a 'tree protector'. I reduced my paper-print consumption as a receiver and sender considerably.
If I find a hat that looks like those vintage ones, I'll try to photograph it for sure. Don't count the seconds or hold your breath though, please.
Yildiz
