Hi from the CC Club,

the first thing that my eyes are draw to are the lovely hills all misty fading into the background. then I look more closely. the scrub land has a few problems, the rest seems to have clumped together and there are no details in them. They look over processed and too sharp.

I would crop a 1 and 1/4 inches of the bottom of your picture, so that there is still scrub land to see in this interesting round pattern. If you do that, then you will also see a lovely leading line going up to your hills.

In post processing, I would tweak with the selective colour black , shadow and highlight as well, just to pop those hills out

if you have any questions, please pm me

Fine shot. Not in-your-face dramatic. It tells me the sort of things I am interested in here: the colours and hint of textures of the scrub and the different shapes and distances of the background hills/mountains/volcanic risings.

I gave this a 5. Liked the scene potential and the colors - perhaps some tweaking in pp would have given this a little more feel and/or drama. As for the sky being so 'bright', perhaps the use of a filter... who knows.
