Date: Dec 14, 2008
Aperture: f16

Date Uploaded: Dec 31, 2008

 This was taken about halfway between Clarens and Fouriesburg in South Africa - this must be one of the most beautiful regions in the country.
Technically, it's not called the Orange Free State anymore (just the Free State), but those beautiful orange hues in the photo certainly conjure up thoughts of the old Orange moniker.

Nice colors. Orange free state - is that South Africa? Beautiful landscape. There seems to be a bit of a yellow or orange color cast to it, though.

Nice landscape. Fenceline is a nice touch. Horizon cuts the photo almost exactly in half. Try moving it up or down just a little.

Pretty scene. Nicely composed. Love the clouds. A touch over saturated for my taste.
