Daniel, it’s a beauty in a great composition as the lines of the trees follow those of the mountains. Love it ! In my eyes a masterpiece !

Daniel excuse me I love floral photo so I can’t help but wishing to see the image without the part with the sky as the flowers, grass and trees are beautiful. Anyway I like the photo.

Thank you, Ben

Thank you for your suggestion, Giuseppe.

I like this landscape image a lot. The backlit haze is a very ethereal touch. I think you have a real keeper here, Me, I would not change a thing about it.

Thank you, Dave.

Daniel,

That’s a great shot. Composition, sun star, colour all good.

I do think you could do some work to remove the two circles centre frame.

Cheers,

Mark

Really lovely scene, perfectly-captured!
Congrats on the EP!

Thank you, Sandy. I am surprised and pleased and did not expect that this image would be an EP. I am so lucky that this scene is what I get to look at from my living room window. It never gets old as the light and clouds change from hour to hour, sometimes minute to minute. My camera is always on the ready!

Daniel, congrats on the EP. Well deserved !

Thank you, Ben

Nice dreamy image. Many highlights are blown out or seem to be. Some of the clouds have very little definition. Yet that’s what gives it that spiritual feeling. When you look into the light you expect to be blinded.

This is really nice. I typically like a more contrasty image with a more defined sunburst, and more definition in the sky, but all the elements and processing styles combine here to make a very compelling image.

Thanks, Paul.

This is beautiful and captures a mood with the soft light. If anything, I might try to tone down the sky just a bit because it draws the eye away from the land. But, minor thing and definitely a matter of preference.

Hi Dan, congratulations on the EP. Great view and love all that close-up foliage. Good work on the bracketing and processing.

Thanks, Allen
