The extreme darkness of the upper right bothers me a bit but I love the strata of the overall design and especially the two figures and their long shadows. Top ten for me. Voted earlier.

I'm going through the entries, stopping at those images I feel have had the benefit of an unconventional eye and dwelling a little longer to try to see and appreciate what you saw. This is one of those images.

Positives: Great landscape and wonderful layered tones but the distant people are a masterstroke. Additional interest and a sense of scale is given by their presence.

Critical stuff: Not really, though I suppose it could stand a crop from the right side.

Overall: Great stuff
