Beautiful composition, but the values are a bit blown out, with the shadows almost pure black, and the highlights of the faded wood almost pure white. But, that could be the effect you were going for...

Looks so inviting!!!

Nice

this is awesome...

love the way the walkway leads you in.

Waw! What a beauty author! Beautiful composition and lucky autor to be there!
I wish I am in New Zealand right now!

Thanks everybody for the votes and the compliments! It's actually hanging in my living room.

I really like this one.

Me too - the leading lines are very strong. If you cropped the top off it would be like mono in green

I like this very much. I agree about the cropping. I think I would get rid of the streets. The greens, lines, and boat outline would be very nice.

Thank you all for the feedback. I made a step-by-step and added two possible crops. I don't like how I lose the depth of the original, but there's a very different feel to the picture when the civilization is cropped out. I have a hard time deciding.

I agree with Nator on this one Author but it is up yo you. Good luck and nice shot.

Okay, I'm going to go with the crop. Seems weird to change in the middle, but I guess that's okay...?

Personally, I think this cropped version is MUCH superior. Good luck

it is ok Author

Great one !

Play the game : "Give the name of your planet (ok), and a brief description of it, in the description"

This picture is so dramatic and powerful, if you captured this image you were very lucky to have been there! This is something I would hang in my house.

I am so sorry my wording was wrong I so did not mean that, just now when I went back and read what I wrote again I am pretty sure my heart stopped. that is a really big oops and bad impression from the get go. What I had meant to say was basically you were lucky to have been there to have captured this. ( Note to self; don't comment on photos while there are things going on around me) I seriously did not mean it in that way. When I saw this picture I was thinking how many people would get the opportunity to be in that place at that moment when the clouds were rolling down the hill. I absolutely LOVE this picture
