Impressive view. Do I detect a soft GND being used? The light looks perfect!

Nice sense of scale and depth in this one. Compelling sky and nice light, too. It does seem to have a lack of a specific focal point, but it's still an interesting scene.

Breathtaking scene and conditions; it would be hard to leave such a spot.

Beautiful light and color. The side lighting did an excellent job created a sense of depth in the scene. Very well done.
