Great textures...warmth...shadows...light...What else is there? Wonderful shot!

Fantastic! Soft textures. Great light and shadows. And good range of tones.

I really like this composition. Very sensual for a landscape. The glare is a problem. I think if you had taken this with a split ND filter, it would have been a 7/7. Nicely seen.

thanks for your comments.

 

linda, you are refering to the glare on the mountain. i thought that this should be there, because the picture is taken directly against the sun and a black mountain would look somewhat artificial. but it is no problem to eliminate it

Dieter,

 

The glare works for me. I think it helps to define the granduer and scale of the mountains.

I agree that the glare off the mountain is necessary for the photo. I wouldn't like to see it removed in PS. I was suggesting that using a split ND filter may have captured more detail in the shadow while preserving the flare over the mountain. regards, Linda

I think the foreground a bit busy here. Cheers Jana
