The Kingdom of Guardians

a symphony where the splendor of nature varies from the blue to yellow through an ultimate perfection

This scene where captured after huge trekking through three peaks their altitude not less than 1500 meters .. Once I headed to the first summit and reached its path, I faced an unstandable river which flows strongly .. While trying to head again up to the summit I came from, I noticed that I won't be able to reach my goal on time. Therefore, I went back again to the bottom of the mountain and headed up to another summit of 1000 meters and when I arrived it started to show the colors of sunset on the horizon of the sky .. I chose this shoot to share after long long long hike 25 km.

That is beautiful light painting the peaks. There's a really nice balance between light and shadow. The grass absolutely glows

It's a great time of year for fresh snow images (lots of anticipation in the northern hemisphere). I love those mountainsides.

Abdullaziz, your composition and processing is a pleasure for me. I especially like how the shapes of the mountains in the distance are repeated by the foreground elements.

Excellent depth Abdulllaziz, like the way you have placed the watermark, inconspicously.

I think the blue/orange contrast is nice and the comp and light are very well handled. The white peak offers a nice focal point.

Very beautiful, Abdullaziz. The contrast between the stolid mountain peaks and the delicate grass is awesome.
