Misty, cloudy weather at the mountains and the lighting was bit hard. A lot editing needed to get contrasty and colors as I liked.

Wow.

uh, oh yeah, Greetings from the Critique Club!

Initial impression: stunning image, looks like an opening shot for a scene from Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Technical: If you look for it, you can see the editing. But if you're not, well, it just comes off as a lovely shot with tons of depth and lines leading you in deeper...and deeper...into the shot. Love pix like this.

Artistic: *scratching head* what can I say that hasn't already been said? Gorgeous use of ambient light, if not for the small traces of humanity visible at the base of these towering mountains, I'd think I really was on my way to Mordor or some other fantastical place.

Overall: Uhmm....as in how to improve this picture? I can't think of any way to do so. It truly is gorgeous. May be a bit discouraging to have finished on a 5.7, but remember it's a Free Study. So in almost any other challenge it would likely have easily finished in the 6s.

Great work, keep it up!

Feel free to PM me with any questions,

Susan
