What a lovely bit of South Africa you have presented here.
I rather enjoyed your remarks in the data line: "My preffered post processing process was follow and colour scheme is how I preferred it." but it leaves me little to actually critique, doesn't it.
Here goes anyhow: It goes without saying that you have captured a fine image of the landscape. If you had taken the image at a different time of day, you might have also captured more shadows in the hills and valleys to add even more interest to your composition. Since this was Advanced Editing, perhaps a touch more saturation in just that elegant foreground land area would have added to the already good score you received for this image. Also, (and then, I'll quit, I promise) there is the little bit of shrubbery in the left foreground. In my opinion, and just my opinion, that could have either been utilized a little more to add to the depth of the view or discarded.
Finally, while I do like the idea of borders, it was the first thing I saw when I opened your image. Not sure that's the effect you want, but there it is.
Your title is wonderful! I live in northern California and we have a Golden Gate of our own, but (alas) no "FreeState."
I was really pleased to have a second look at this very fine entry in the Challenge and wish you continued success at DPC.
Beautiful landscape, beautifully captured. You've chosen lovely light to really make the colours sing, and that almost stormy blue sky and fluffy clouds. Lovely!
