 With this submission I decided to try something different...creating a landscape in the tradition of the Hudson River school of painting from the mid-1800s. Nature as theme, grand scale, human beings and buildings minimized, romanticism, etc.

I'm shocked. You must have been penalised cos of all the sky. It's a fantastic picture.

I took a chance with this one - trying to emulate a painting style and using a lot of sky in a "landscape". Thanks for the comments...I particularly appreciated those that indicated that the commenters understood what I was up to.

Nice image. A bit dark. More of a skyscape than a landscape.

A very pleasant picture. The title is a little heavy handed though.

This really does look like a painting. A lot of sky for a landscape but it is really lovely.

Interesting sky. Reminds me of some ceiling paintings in the Hermitage in Russia.

I know the painting your title speaks off, you have captured the sky well enough but I feel you lost the Hills in the process. Well done though.

A landscape? I like this view but I think it would have been better under the title "From Ground Up".
