The trees look odd and are distracting from the beautiful clouds in the sky.

(20/38) I love the point of view but the textures feel very flat -- sky especially. Also, the contrast isn't what it could be. Maybe experiment with different channels?

love the way you caught the clouds but seems to be not enough contrast in the hillsides

not sure what happened here...I'm not sure if you did USM or not...you seem to have lost detail in the reducing of the picture IMO

The image seems confusing. The sky seems very smooth and the trees and river too sharpened. I'm guessing HDR or the like.

Think it may have been better without and with more traditional processing, it's a lovely location.

Good leading lines along the slopes as well as the snaking river taking tyou through the picture. Over all, there are not many highlights here and it looks as if most of the tones fall in the midrange with not much shadow either. It gives it a grey look.
