Thank you for any comments.

Pretty cool--nice comp and the pattern of red foliage in the fg compliments the mountain shrouded in clouds. Still, i can't help what imagine what this scene might look like bathed in some warm low angle light

LOL, good one Stan.

I like this a lot Pavel, the color grabs the eye and the scene has a nice flow to the interest of the cloud covered mountain in the background. Well done!

Great foreground and the soft light is very helpful in making the repeating patterns obvious.

Now that's some interesting foreground. New Zealand is unbelievable. Nice image Pavel.

Great comp and colors. Darn good light for midday. I like the mood. I especially enjoy how the red flowering plants drape over the rocks.

Very lovely. A very interesting subject matter that has also benefited from the cloudy conditions.
