What a beautiful, peaceful looking place. I love hiking as well, and this looks the type of place that's both fun to explore and climb around on the rocks and to sit and drink in the silence near that clear pond.

When I saw the rocks, the texture/structure really reminded me of your other Emma Gorge picture. And I think I said it about that one, too: the rocks are just so awesome and realistic, they almost seem like a photo. They also give a lot of depth to this image here, with the foreground rocks being very detailed and with "harder" shading that really makes them look 3D, and the softer way you painted them in the background, blurry with distance.

The reflections on the water surface are great, too.
