Typical flora of the Mediterranean region is in the shadows while the sunset light illuminating the Taurus Mountains.

Two exposures are blended for increasing the depth of field.

Koprulu Canyon National park, Antalya, Turkey.

Thank you for your comments.

I really like the warmth of the sky along with the snow capped mountains, Serkan. I think that the tree silhouettes are a bit to much and would work better with 1/2 of it cropped from the bottom. Just my opinion of course.

I agree with Bill that the silhouetted foreground is overshadowing a beautiful mtn sunset. Reducing by 1/2 and trying to add a tad of detail would help.

The mountains and the sky are beautiful, but the trees in the foreground over power the rest of the image and stop eye movement to the really nice part of this image. I would crop the majority of the bottom of the image off.

The sky and the snow covered mountains are very nice. I too think that there's too much dark silhouette in the bottom of the frame.

The mountain and sky are beautiful Serkan. I too agree the silhouetted detract from the beauty of the image. I think a crop of the lower third might help.

Agree with others regarding cropping something off the bottom. The sky and mountains are gorgeous.

Thanks for your valuable comments so far. Here is a cropped version. After I cropped most of the lower portion I also cropped from sides to keep the aspect ratio. I hope this version is better than the original.
