My vision of "The Shire" has just been reset.
Cool Shot, Christoph.
Well done!

What a view! Great shot, Christoph. The quality of light, and the vibrant and smooth undulating landscape make it very inviting. My single recommendation would be to take care of that grad line on the hill on the left.

I'd stop and rest here too!

I really like the mottled lighting. It gives depth to the scene.

That's really pretty. I like that light! The clouds and very top of the hills seem to have a bit of dark rim, but there's probably no way to get around that given this light.
What a lovely place.

This is gorgeous! I love the dappled light, and that view is incredible.

Beautiful light!

I'd fix the blend line on the highest hill there, that's about it.

Really beautiful, so much to look at here. The light is awesome and all the little subtleties, such as the sheep (I'm guessing sheep), really keep the eye exploring here.

My only suggestion would be to fix the grad line (maybe a blend line) on the hilltop in the left side. I may also darken up the river, as reflected light is normally darker that it's source (in this case, the sky).

Either way, this is an excellent image.
