So calming and relaxing !
What a wonderful place to see!
Technically, there's very little to say, maybe the some small noisy spots in the sky, but it's not important because I think that you have edited this wonderful photo creating a special atmosphere, it's quite magic !

This feels like it's from a book, The Hobbit or something fantastical like that. Beautiful.

Has a dreamy pastel look with great lite. I'm glad I got around to commenting on this photograph. I must bump up the score. Great capture.

lovely light

nice HDR or equivalent image. I find that the yellow in the clouds let this image down badly. Try to post process selectively on just the clouds. Maybe reduce more yellow, add a little more red , magenta. You get my drift..

Lovely greens in this one. Clouds are suffering a bit from the processing, which is a bit of a shame, otherwise very nicely done (voted earlier 7)

The light and colours here are beautiful, it's almost like a painting.

the post processing (?) does add to the mood, just wish the sky didn't have the blown areas. jmo

This is a beautiful vista but I don't like this sort of processing.

Very majestic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 02:46:43 PM
I like the warmth to the greenery but perhaps it needed a touch less of that in the mountains. The details are excellent and the composition really good. The bright yellow parts in the sky doesn't seem to work well though. Perhaps a try at masking the blown out sky some other way? maybe cloning out the little bits and just darkening the rest. Not sure if cloning out the big ones would be legal in advanced editing, could be though.(no vote)

Beautiful shot... I like that you didnt over do it with the saturation, or with burning the clouds in the sky.

I can only describe this shot as gorgeous. Well done. The colors are awesome(this coming from someone who's colorblind)
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Beautiful tones and just the right amount of softness. Very natural looking.

Nice composition and very dramatic sky
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 01:18:37 AM
The colors look unatural to me. Where those clods and smoke in the sky? Otherwise its quite nice!
03/11/2009 09:19:00 PM
subtle tonings make this capture a standout

When it began, nobody took notice, for it began far from prying eyes. It began above the peaks and forests in a wilderness that few traversed, and none had settled.

On the day of our doom, the clouds above these peaks grew thick, and dark, and fire flashed within, and the heat seared the air and ground and set all it touched aflame.

By the time it reached more settled ground, where we as humanity gathered and lived, it had grown to such chaos and violence that we never stood a chance, and the fire and death rained from the sky and the very earth was turned to glass.

The instrument of our doom had started above the instrument of our life, and it seemed a fitting end.

To some.

Lovely highlights on the trees and hills.

the color palette on this one is striking! no blues, just greens and yellows. I really like the layers contained in the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 06:22:10 AM
And that's how we do a landscape folks.

Very pretty! I really like the processing!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 01:06:05 AM
wish there was more sky and mountains and less forest - the pond is barely visible in between all the greens. a tad overprocessed, especially in the clouds, but still leaves a majestic but calm impression. very good sharpness.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
