Well, the value of judging in these contests has always been suspect to me.? 
It seems to lead to conformity, IMHO.? But that said, I cropped out the 
rocks.? The result is here:

or

The cropped version certainly emphasizes the anticipated crash, but to my 
mind loses the piece of information that they are both in a very narrow 
channel.

It'd be interesting to hear what others think.? Thanks.

Regards,

Dick
