"Mountain Hallalujah" (II)

Zhang Jia Jie (张家界) is a huge mountain region in Hunan Province,

China. Together with other two famous mountain regions Huangshan and

Guilin, its special rock formation features have primarily inspired to

create "Mount Hallalujah" in movie Avatar .

This one-shot image was taken on 10 January 2015. A Lee 170mm X 150mm

0.9 GND Soft filter was used.

During our four-days trip to this region, we encountered a spectacular

sunset on the first day, that, as the local told us, was one of the

best sunsets in last couple of years in this area. Although the

weather was not ideal at all for shooting in the rest of the days, I

was still happy to get this good light for just one evening.

Thanks for viewing this image.

Yan, this is a spectacular view and you nailed the composition and timing. I love the tree on the right and the sun rays. The light on the rock pillars is also excellent. My only niggle, which is quite common, is that you must have used a ND filter - either physical which it looks like - or digitital, and it is quite obvious to me. I'd lighten the sky just a tad, esp on the sides. 

I agree with your title!

One must really view this image larger to truly appreciate it's beauty. Lovely and breathtaking!
