Wow! So surreal... Love the flow of the clouds against the sharp edges of the mountains and the horizontal banding in the sky! Well executed, Rui!!

Dreamy, indeed…

The lines and shades are wonderful and the wispy clouds make the photo magic.

I can't fault this aesthetically - it's a beautiful subject that's been captured perfectly. However, being ultra-picky, I do see evidence of over-sharpening on the two mountain-ridges. Not a biggie but when an image is this good it's worth going the extra mile with the PP to make everything perfect..

Wow, this is incredible, Rui! I think this would also work really well by cropping from the bottom to lose the foreground hill.

I agree with Paul on the crop. Otherwise excellent use of the long exposure Rui!
