As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

This is an impressive yet interesting landscape and scene. I find it hard to size up this pool, when i look at the whole picture it looks like a huge scene and pool of water, but when I look at the stones in the pool the pool looks like a small pool of water.

@Stunner: Thanks Stunner. It's quite small, about 2m long, its just exxagerated by the wide-angle
@Didier: Thanks Didier

A beautiful image. What is that bit of different colored substance on the two rocks right in the middle of the pool? It's much brighter than the surrounding tones. At any rate, I like the details in the rock and the pleasing colors.

@Steve Rice: Thanks Steve. If you're referring to the triangle of white, its the last of the reflection my polariser couldn't get rid of. Otherwise, its lichen on the rocks
Tracy from La Selva Beach, United States
This is a very nice shot- I really love the textures of the rocks, with the mussels & limpets nicely in focus. The little reflection in the middle is a nice addition.

this is an interesting image- however i would love to see it in the more subtley edited original, i think this
appears to be hdr'ed and sometimes the hdr can come at price to the reality of the image . i am sorry- i do not sugar coat- as i think there is more value in the telling of how i see it- and i welcome the same to me.
you are right it is the only way to learn- by the way is this is a canyon? i cant tell how far this goes- it is a subduction? your title is pool- so is fill water from rain gathering through rainy season- or melt water?

@e11even: I think we might have to agree to differ on the subject of post-processing Rio; I do like the criticism though, I think this may be too over-processed aswel, I've found my lapop screen to not be properly calibrated, it can be hard to judge! However, the original exposure didn't have the impact I think this location deserved!
Otherwise, this is a tidal pool, as I said above to Stunner its only about 2m long, sitting above the seashore, it was about a 4m scramble up wet rocks, which was great fun!

A fine shot showing us the strata of the rocks around this pool. I especially like the rich colors and detail. Nice one.

It's a great play of textures and variations of colors. But for me, it's a little bit over-exposed...

Impressive and nice textures. Little bit over-exposed for me too but really interesting

You can't beat messing about in rock pools... it has a great abstract feel to it.
