I like this picture. However, there are several elements competing for attention. The fence leads you to the couple, but then wants to lead you on to the tunnel. The couple points out of the picture at an unseen object of interest. The mountain ridge in the background competes with the rest of the picture. None of this is fatal, but is there to see. From the shadows, it appears that the picture was taken around mid-day, which tends to make landscapes look flat. The haze in the valley works to give depth, (other wise the tunnel and the background would run together), but were the picture taken early in the day or late in the afternoon, you could have filtered out the haze and gotten a good idea of depth.

Lighting is good, contrast is very good (you can see the details in all the light and dark areas, nothing is hidden or blown out.) Focus is good, cropping is excellent. With a bit of a different pose of the couple, and no haze, I could see this as a postcard for the area.

This is beautiful. Is it really a sunrise or sunset. They all look alike and there are so many of them this challenge. And it does make a difference for the song title. I know that is nitpicking. I love the clouds, they look menancing. This is an 8, if it is a sunrise. PTL

Interesting. Would have tried to catch it a little earlier. The sun is a little overbearing, and the sunrise has a tendancy to create nice colours. Just a thought for later shots.

Beautiful sunrise with the clouds and all. I just wish there wasn't so much noise in the clouds and darker portions of the shot. Still nice shot! 7.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo
