Following up on your forum post about your biggest challenge disappointment. Maybe my notebook monitor isn't displaying this properly, because nobody said this previously, but to me it looks far too dark on the land and too light in the sky. It looks to me like a grad ND filter or bracketing and tone mapping would really help it. Also the horizon looks tilted to me, but it's hard to tell with these landscapes that may be slopes.
I gave you a 5. Looking at it closer, maybe I'd revote a point higher, but I think I don't like the cactus being so centered. What I do like is the subtle layering of the background mountains in the haze.
really, really like the subtlety of the tones in this image, but think it could have benefited from a non-centered composition, namely, the left side of the image is not as interesting as the right... but i gave it a 7 during voting
Totally disagree with the snapshot comment. Really. I love the colours, the lighting is excellent. Totally underrated and worthy of a much higher score.
Nice scene, though I may have positioned the tallest cactus either totally central or more off to one side maybe. I really like the clouds in this as well.
