It's a lovely depiction of Xanadu and a striking landscape. The light and the textures are dramatic and memorable; I could recall how this image made me feel even after viewing a couple of hundred others, most of which I mercifully forgot in seconds. 10.

After seeing so many nice landscapes, I found myself docking some views because they didn't take enough advantage of the natural beauty. I definitely can't say that about this one.

This is very good. Orange vs Blue works well here with the shadows. The transitional green is the killer. Well done. 10
