This is incredible.  Nothing else to say.

Great photography Marc! I have enjoyed your work for quite long time her at photo.net and I believe that you are very talented! The sky in this shot is the most amazing part but I have to say that I think the image is way too dark. If you push the highlights the image would really pop and look sparkling.  You shouldn’t have to look at the monitor in a dark surrounding because then the image is too dark. We use special daylight light tubes in the professional photo labs and in the digital retouch room we just have a few less light tubes to make it slightly darker than in the printing room but the difference shouldn’t be that much…

Great shot overall.  The sharpness of the line between the sky and the ridges makes the line stand out in an unnatural manner.  Typical blending issue it seems.

Huh.  I thought if you thought any of them to have unnatural color it  would have been this one!  It's REALLY unnatural!  I recently reprocessed this to show it off much better.  I cannot find the line you're speaking of at 100% on the full res. file, so maybe just a web sharpening artifact showing up on your monitor.

My husband just bought me this photograph for Christmas!! Thank you so so much. I love it, and can't wait to get more of your shots hanging on our wall. Incredible. So glad I found you on Photo-net. Your work inspires me like no other.

Hi. I'm new here at PN. One of the reasons I became a member is that I like to see photos that go one step further so that I can get inspired and motivated to continue working and learning this beautiful art.

But watching at your photo..., I simply don't have words for that. Simply amazing and beautiful.

I have much respect for your effort planning and working on this photo. Really professional, and by far..., one of my favorites!

Your ability to previsualize and then nail the image is second to none.
