Something about the shapes of the rocks and the shapes of the farm land that really harmonize your photo - nice job

The distant plains are nice and sharp and the colour offers nice contrast to the foreground hill however I feel the foreground hill takes up too much space in the image. A slight shift to the right and a lower perspective could possibly help. This would also help move the horizon from the center.

There are interesting patterns in the fields as well as in the sky so framing to emphasize either one would work very well.

A beautiful capture - particularly well done in the sky area. I like the composition, and the inclusion of the clump of snow on the bottom left.

I've seen the Canterbury Plains many times, but not quite from this superb viewpoint. It's a very fine and thoughtful landscape photograph, because it beautifully captures the odd juxtaposition that exists there of wild, scree-covered alpine slopes and bucolic, ordered pastoral plains. And the balance you've chosen between those two worlds is exactly right ... you've included just enough of each. Finally, the centred horizon and the resultant sky vista is perfect, too. This image works like a good cocktail ... it tastes better than any of its ingredients alone, and it leaves me wanting another one! 8.

I really like the composition. The summery bright colours with the hints of snow are also a really nice contrast.

"Oh yes", the Grinch thought gazing down on Whoville "there shall be no Christmas this year"

Great shot.Love the way you captured the snow of the mountain but then the view of the nice green valley below contrasting against it.

Interesting how the shale repeats the pattern of the cultivated fields below. Nice seeing and a good meld of shapes. Great sky too, by the way.
