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.
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.

Good to hear from you.

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?
