The first time I see this formation, and I do look at a lot of Machu Picchu photos. Very graphic and enormously interesting!

There is a lot to be said about the mysterious quality of a painting of caring sometimes more life that a real photo! I do both myself and love both mediums beyond words.
Congratulations for both!

The range of gray hues is enchanting. The fact that there is no snow white or ebony black gives a deep melancholy to the image. And not worked to death in photoshop or sharpened like a blade! Great!

Papa Bear and Mama Bear. So far, no incidents!
It's a beautiful photo and if I have to throw my 2 cents, I would be more definite between the preponderance of the sky vs. land.

I love them when they become anthropomorphic and get expressions!
It's a sort of modern Swan Lake.

Great gilded rocks. I would cut a little from the sky. About a third of it and it becomes like a Goya painting. Bravo!

What a shot! Where is it? Very special. The view from the corner makes it very dramatic. Has a eerie feeling due to the two choices of travel.
I wonder what would be like in B&W.
The saturation seems a bit equal to me. Perhaps the green should have been toned down. I insist writing because I really love this picture! What a pest!

I like it too. Yes, the arm movement of the woman gives the elegance of the shot.

Yes Steve, I am walking the High Line. In my original picture, the railing is snow white - I have to go back again to see why was such a contrast. I changed its color in this picture because I did not want such a blunt a separation.
Thank you for the tutorial. Great hidden gems!
I don't know where to post this answer. On my site or on yours? So I answered you on both. But once I am told the right way to do it, I conform. I am not totally silly!
