Yes, I was trying to get the miniature effect by holding the camera at a tilt. I think it would have been moreeffective from a higher floor.

This is a great capture. The colors in the trees are great. The clouds in the hills are dramatic. I realize you are probably on a slope and, therefore, the shot is level, but the slope of the ground at the bottom of the pic is distracting. I'll bet you could artificially "level" this by tilting the crop and it might appear to be more level. Great work.

This is good. How did you get the strong vignette?

It's such a vibrant looking image, and an excellent story to go with it.

The lens distortion has almost given you a tilt-shift effect

Gorgeous. But really not liking the border. It draws my eye away from the scene and looks like a mistake.
