GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

What a lovely bit of South Africa you have presented here.

I rather enjoyed your remarks in the data line: "My preffered post processing process was follow and colour scheme is how I preferred it." but it leaves me little to actually critique, doesn't it.

Here goes anyhow: It goes without saying that you have captured a fine image of the landscape. If you had taken the image at a different time of day, you might have also captured more shadows in the hills and valleys to add even more interest to your composition. Since this was Advanced Editing, perhaps a touch more saturation in just that elegant foreground land area would have added to the already good score you received for this image. Also, (and then, I'll quit, I promise) there is the little bit of shrubbery in the left foreground. In my opinion, and just my opinion, that could have either been utilized a little more to add to the depth of the view or discarded.

Finally, while I do like the idea of borders, it was the first thing I saw when I opened your image. Not sure that's the effect you want, but there it is.

Your title is wonderful! I live in northern California and we have a Golden Gate of our own, but (alas) no "FreeState."

I was really pleased to have a second look at this very fine entry in the Challenge and wish you continued success at DPC.

I recognize the geology, as similar to the landscape photography of Tygerr, as shown in his fine image .

Beautiful landscape, beautifully captured. You've chosen lovely light to really make the colours sing, and that almost stormy blue sky and fluffy clouds. Lovely!
