hello Landscape gallery...... this will be my first post with you. Last week I visited the GC for the first time... yes, it was awesome.. Here is one of my first attempts.. I do not have a wide angle lens and really missed it here.
took this image with nikon d700, hand held, 70-200mm, 2.8 at 70 mm
1/125 f11 iso 200.
processed in LR.

Comments and suggestions very welcome, as I am just learning landscapes! thankyou!

A Polarizer would do wonders for this type shot.

Although I like the golden bush in the fg, the tree on the rhs doesn't add much IMO. The balance of light and shadow is nice, but the light is a little harsh. Tame it, and you'd have a fine image.

Nice framing with the foreground plants and minimized sky works well here. DOF looks really good here. Second version is also way better, though I liked the original quite well too.
