The subtlety in this apparently simple picture, like unto a Japanese print, is that it is NOT flat at all. To paraphrase posthumousfrom somewhere else, you have to took and look and not quite see.
This shot looks very 2d to me, yes I realize it is a picture, but the lighting and the sky make everything look very flat. There isn't really any detail to the picture, it almost looks like a drawing.
I think that's what I like about it -- it reminds me of one I considered entering myself, though I ended up in the other challenge. I like the soothing blue shades ...
I love the simplicity of this picture which, IMO, conveys the idea of distance as well as any other in this challenge. The colours are wonderfully peaceful and the light cloud and mist both emphasises how far the mountain top is away and also adds an air of dreaminess that complements the colours brilliantly
