Judy has a point - I think you should put together a calendar. I'd buy one!

03/17/2009 05:05:08 PM
I think the bottom 2/3 of this photo is gorgeous with the fall colors, lighting, and the different layers and textures that the rocks, stream and tall grasses add. As for the top 1/3, I wish there was more detail and depth to the clouds.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/17/2009 04:12:18 PM

amazing scene and nice perspective
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:25:34 PM
This is a nice landscape. I like the muted fall colours and the rocks in the foreground look really sharp. I don't know if you burned the cloud in the middle, but it looks unusually dark compared to the others.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 02:53:20 PM
I've seen shots from this vantage point before, but nonetheless this is a beautiful scene to look at, and this particular rendition has some great colours.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 02:07:44 PM
Good control of details and color, there is a calmness to this image that speaks very quietly
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I think I have seen this in Outdoor Photographer Magazine, or wait maybe I will see this in OP. Splendid!! Just passing thru with a nudge.

Now this is a beautiful scene and well photographed. Editing is perfect for this photograph. bump
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Fabulous detail. Extremely good processing. I am assuming this has had some kind of HDR process, even if only done manually. This is really excellent.

Beautiful composition...definitely one of the best of the challenge. 10

Great scene, great processing. The darkened areas on the left/right in the mountains seem odd. I wonder how this would look with a slight vignette?

03/11/2009 06:37:25 PM
Beautiful processed. Looks like a painting! A really good painting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:12:58 PM
There is something about the composition in this shot that isn't as appealing as it could be. I can see the line of the water, but it's not really strong enough to lead me back to the storm in the distance. Instead, I'm left at the edge of the frame up against the mountain. Going straight through the frame -- it's bisected by the field. The lighting in the foreground is excellent; perhaps it's just that the image is trying to do too much in one frame. Still, it's nice and sharp and obviously interesting enough to make me write more than a few words, so, a score higher than 5. :)
