Interesting patterns and colouration Magnus. It would just help for me if you told us how you achieved the shot on what with.

Hi Magnus

Nice idea.

A general comment about this sort of shot is that despite wanting to convey form of the landscape, there still needs to be a degree of order to the structure of the elements within the image - somewhere for the eye to rest. That is the only ingredient missing for me here. Good attempt at a difficult subject.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Magnus

I think I recognise this view! I also think I've seen better versions of this from you. I agree with Chris - it needs a bit more structure.

Good to hear from you.

Thank you, everyone, for your comments.

Sorry for not being clear with how the photos was taken - from a mountain top with a tele lens.

Peter: I'm sure you recoqnize the view. Not keen paying another visit down the road?

I enjoy this kind of imagery and I think the small size does not do it justice at all. I think if it was on an 8ft canvas things would be very different.. Love the tones and colours.
