Cloud Sea of Mount Huangshan

After sunset, dramatic cloud sea appeared in this valley of Mount

Huangshan. This image was a result of stitching six successive shots

using my telephoto lens at 70mm focal length, so that I could present

such scene at this viewpoint with great details.

Such a majestic scene Yan!  Love the prominent peak in the foreground and the detail in the floating clouds behind.  The three layers of peaks working up the mountain behind the prominent one add tremendously to the effect.

outstanding composition.

Love the clouds, but it looks quite tilted to the right.

Beautiful motiv. Dramatic and poetic at the same time. I like the square format of the image. But it's all grey. I miss something real black.

Jim,

Thanks for your comment.

Yes, the mountains on the right are very tilted in reality. With using 70-200mm telephoto lens and shooting vertical, I was able to keep the scene in my frame as it was.

Regards,

Yan

I agree with everything Tommy said including the need for some additional contrast and some blacks.

Here is an improved version:

Every inch a fantastic landscape. Beautiful!

Great landscape.
