I feel the foreground subject detracts from the impact of the mountain and the abnormal saturation/wb is un-necessary. A very powerful scene like this needs little photographic  manipulation. Just get it onto the sensor!

Stephen! thanks for your thoughts on this and constructiveness.

unfortunately the sensor of the cameras are very limited, unable to give back what my eyes saw. and unfortunately this is exactly what i want to show: the way i see things. this is why i need to post-process a lot. in my opinion (and i think i am not alone) exposure bracketting, manual layer blending for right exposure, tones and contrast adjustments, and saturation are not considered manipulation (no major elements are added or subtracted). the "abnormal" look is from the abnormal light condition. i hate daylight on photos, i adore abnormal light. i make many efforts and a lot of sacrifice to get it, and in post-processing also a lot of effort to give it back. none of these abnormalities are random, nor processing artifacts, they are chosen consciously and consistently.

the purpose of photography is to see how we see things. you know how you see things, and let me show you how i see them :)

wish you all the best

Super image Zsolt,

Your image has great depth on several layers,the perfect foreground just fires you into the scene beyond.

While this is certainly a striking image, there are two things that bother me. First, color saturation is quite strong and looks unnatural to me. Second, the bright part of the sky is too large for not having any content. I know this is just nitpicking. Keep up the good work.

Predrag!

thank you for your feedback. saturation is certainly not a flaw as it is subjective. it looks natural to my eyes, but anyway, in fine art photography natural-ness is not important at all. i don't wanted to show reality, but my vision about it.

about the bright part of the sky: i'm not sure i understand why it would be an issue. it would be certainly if it's overexposed or lacking color information, which is not the case here.

best regards!

Unfortunately, we landscape photographers can only take or ignore what the Nature is serving us. We certainly can not place the clouds ourselves.


Best regards
