The Fortress Walls

Awesome shot, the brooding sky and boulders appearing as a continuous wall off into the distance add to the message.

The has an otherworldly mood Mike. Wonderful light on the fortress walls.

What and incredible combination of light and texture. Every pixel is perfect.

Outstanding imagery Michael, all this came together beautifully. Thank you for sharing your travels.

Great texture and lines. The sculpted rocks are a cool formation and the watermarks lead my eyes through the scene.

Fantastic! Great comp, beautiful color and light!

The gift you have being able to capture such emotion and raw power in a image is something very few have and ever will have. Your work is always recognizable as yours. This image is simply surreal and incredible. Love the colors in this and the textures of the rock and smooth water. Light was certainly on your side for this one.

Another totally surreal world. Love it.

Might burn down the clouds behind the middle formation a hair?

This is captivating. Wonderful mood, color and conditions
Wow, the colors on the wall look like tidal marks.

Nice one.

I love everything about this image. The looming shapes of the boulders contribute to the slightly sinister feel. Beautiful light to boot. Nice

Absolutely magical, Mike. Wonderful composition and hauntingly beautiful color palette.

Absolutelly gorgeous, just love the soft light and colors here! I might be tempted to burn down the bright cloud near the center, it kind of pulls my eye from all the surrounding beauty.

love the angle Mike, the color tone and the time is lovely

Very nice processing Michael, with a very painterly quality to it. The mix of green and orange is a very nice color element, and the work on the rocks to bring out their shape and texture is wonderful. Sure looks like a fascinating and beautiful location.

Stunning! The color palette and composition are perfect. I like the strong diagonals on both sides of the frame working together to pull the eye into the scene. Would be tempted to burn down those white clouds near the center, but that's being extremely picky.

Again and again... You create unique surreal landscapes from far away places and present them masterfully.

You're killing me with these. Freakin nuts

Beautiful, mystic and surreal scene. Looks like from a Fantasy world.

I always love the mood and drama that you capture and convey to the viewer! Just perfectly compelling!

Another amazing image! Ever since seeing photos from the Seychelles many years ago, it has stuck in my imagination as an almost mystical place. Thanks for sharing these.

Such interesting shapes and textures from this place!

Beautiful and other-worldly. Great mysterious mood. Excellent image.

fabulous and so surreal! I agree w Rick G about the bright cloud above the stack in the middle. My eye went right to it

Hi Mike,
I really like this image. I love the depth and repeated forms in this image. Its a very striking image, successfully creating the "Ooh I feel like I could walk right into it" effect.

It looks to me that you used an ND grad for the upper left of the image, which may be a little too dark. Its an easy fix with Nik Viveza.

I've loved all your images from the Seychelles Mike. Those fin-like boulders are very unique, never saw anything quite like them! They lend a very exotic feel to the image. The colors are unique as well. Great capture of a little known place!

This is awesome . . . nothing really to add to what has already been said. Just a tremendous shot that is both beautiful and evocative.

WOW! Love this, Mike. The details are awesome and the whole scene is so unique and lively. I really enjoy your images from all over the place...keeps me on the edge of my seat!

Otherwordly and simply fascinating, Mike! Maybe one day I'll see this myself.

Well, thanks for once again adding to my bloated list of places I've got to get to.

Your skills combined with your travel make for amazing and unique work. Magnificent.
