Mmm...very nice shot. I was hoping for either a little more brightness or darkness in the foreground... I'd like to either see the details or not see them at all. As it stands, I can kinda make some out, so I spend alot of time trying to decipher the details when I should just be eyeing the reflections... The water is beautiful, btw. The bright light above is like an aura, the shifts in color very obvious. Lovely! Thank you!

Nice shot. In a normal competition, this would be tops. I hope you do well in the voting, but there are some really great landscapes competing.

Sunlight through the tops of hills are interesting. I would leave less of grass in front.

wow this is an amazing photo, i love the soft tones on the grass and the effect of the light over the image of the mountains!
there is really nothing that i would change in this image and the only thing possibly is probably softening the focus a tad more but imho that wouldnt be a good idea so as the photo stands i believe its the best it can be and i highly congratulate you on that...

I loved to open the tent in the morning and see this. Of course the light would be from the other direction. Nicely done. It has a nice soft, calming feel.

Nice soft light, very peaceful atmosphere. The grass in the foreground could do with a lillte desaturation in my opinion, it has much more color than the rest of the scene.

As far as quality of light goes - this has been taken at a nice time of day so full marks on that front.

That aside I feel with a little bit more thought one could have made this quite good. I really like to see people use some foreground element to give their landscapes depth but you have decided against this here. Even by using a path or natural trail can add some depth but here this seems to have been neglected.

This results in quite a flat looking scene.

Nice sunset, but I can't work out why you have such bad jpeg artifacting for a 120kb file. It's all over the shot, and the texture of the foreground grass looks really strange. It looks like something in PS has gone a bit wrong. I can't help thinking that something a little more striking could have been achieved with this view and light. The sky seems a tad overexposed. 7
