Hi Michael

Before praising your snap I would like to take this opportunity to say that of all the equipments output I have seen, I must say your camera is awesome.
As far as the snap goes - Its excellent since such a variation of light and shades with the objects I can find in the frame. Well balanced shot with so many spot lights. Excellent.

Wonderful shot, Mike! The POV is fantastic and all the composition is amazing, showing us the depth and width of the valley. The colours are amazing, in different layers and the way you got the sun and the clouds is simply splendid. I liked a lot!

Nice light captured. Maybe lighten the shadows in the top and bottom right corners to bring out a bit more detail. Otherwise nice composition and I love the reflection of the warm light in the water.

Hello Michael,

You captured the fleeting moment perfectly. The peaks are illuminated selectively by the setting sun, and there is the magnificent reflection in the water below.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Fantastica ambientazione in questo scatto. La luce � incredibilmente affascinante, cos� mitigata dal cielo tempestoso.
Complimenti, un vero piacere per gli occhi.
