GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

How lucky can a girl get! I very well remember this spectacular image from the "Best of..." Challenge and didn't know I'd get to see it again from the angle of the Critique Club. You finished well into the top 20 in a very demanding Challenge.

You know your subject very well, and you are a master of your camera and processing techniques. Your average and your many ribbons tell me this.

So with thanks for the opportunity to really look at this fine work again, I'll move on to the next image in the queue.

"There is nothing to critique here."

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Wow, what a vista. Congratulations on this great capture of a stunning scene. And, as your comments show, the figure on the upper left gives a fine sense of scale to it all.

but, still, you didn't score as well as one might think with an image this stunning. You are new to HDR and I can see why you would like the results so much because of all that detail and color. IMO, this very fine image almost heads into the 'illustration' category. And there's nothing wrong with that, for heaven's sake! It's just that treatment doesn't go over terribly well at DPC.

so, other than suggesting that you might tone down the color on that yellow rock in the bottom right border area, I'd say you are on the right track, with very good observation and camera skills. You caught this incredible landscape at a spectacular time.

Keep up the good work.
