Hi Mattana, A dramatic shot. I like the composition, but I have to confess, the colors don't work so well for me. My own preference being for more natural colors/shades.

Hi Mattana

I see.. the blend is fine for me. What I meant is that I'm a bit distracted by the horizon being not straight.

Hi Claudio,

Thanks for the comments. I am wondering whether I should blend the horizon even more -- on my part it is about the end - the unknown or something like that.

Cheers

I like this one, with the treatment you gave it. The artificial vignetting gives me the feeling of someone looking at the "end of the land" with a monocular from far away and it makes the focal point very clear. I like the sureal colors, but I'm less sure about the horizon. Nice evoctive image

Hi Fred,
Thanks for the comment. Satauration was deliberate on my part to try to convey the mood and the meaning rather than be true to the nature. :o)
Cheers

Hi Mattana,

I like the view (and the place, though it was too long ago since the last time I was there), but the image is a bit oversataurated for my taste. I'd also suggest that you straighten the horizon to improve the photo yet a bit.
All the best,
Fred
