I do like it! Question? Did the yellow color come from the city lights? Was the snow also so very yellow, radiant, in their glow?

Good, very good!

Pretty! Would have loved to be there that night, though looks cold to me.

What did you do to the colors?

Lovely! Did you do any adjustments to this? The sage and blue greens, in contrast to the blue-greys of the limestone.

Without changing the colors can you emphasize them to match the view in your memory? I'm afraid that I find most Nikons in need of color enhancement.

What is the source of the turquoise haze in the sky?

What a great shot! What a wonderful eye you have for seeing the shot. So humble a scene, so fine to see.

Good shot into the fog -- I enjoy the delicacy of the grass at close range, with dew on it.

Hey, love to see more shots of the National Park!

The colors give us a look into the surreal feeling of the place. I think I like the idea of a graduated filter, and just might invest in one.

Thank you for this shot. It shows the human scale of rural life in an area without tractors or large-scale farming. When you think of farming anywhere in our human past, this is the sort of view one should keep in mind -- size of field determined by what one family with on ox or donkey can take care of, but large enough to feed the family.

This is a wonderful humanizing shot. The experience of being a Tibetian monk is not one we can relate to. But the camraderie, humor and love between these guys is as human as anything that I feel with my friends.

Wow! you caught this at just the right moment.

I don't think you need to crop a thing; the picture draws me in quite effectively as is.

And no, don't adjust colors further from their natural state.
If you adjust too much, what is a product of nature becomes an artistic interpretation.

There's a time and place for artisitic interpretation, to instill or further a mood piece. When applied to nature shots, it tends to make something "real" look like a postcard.

I prefer to see it as it is; bring colors around to match what they were in your mind and heart when you took the shot.

It's a superb shot. Taking photos of perfection are difficult, but you succeeded wonderfully.
