Photographer’s Note

... the so-called chocolate hills on the Philippine island of Bohol (they turn a chocolatey brown after the summer)... theories as to their origin abound including that they are the result of some giant shedding tears over unfulfilled love... ;-)

Hope you enjoy,
Karsten

Hi Karsten,
Nicely done here, well balanced and good moment chosen for such atmosphere of the picture. I like it. It's simple but may be a good background for many stories.
Kind regards,
Michal

Hi Karsten,
The chocolat hills are fantastic landscape.
The quality of your picture could be improved (light, colors, quality) but the framing and composition are good.
Great atmosphere.
Chers.

Hi Karsten,
these hills are not chocolate here but it's good too, all that green. Great landscape POV with a nice light. Good frame with the round hill on the right on the foreground.

hi karsten,
this not-so-bright, not-so-dark capture of Bohol's top tourist attraction is well controlled, exposurewise. just the right amount of light, so to say. i can only wish that this were a larger upload tho...:-)

Hi Karsten!

I've been magnetised, from long, by the chocolate hills, but there are not so often pictures that re-activate the dream of a fairy athmosphere. Your picture succeeds to do so. With the soft light and the fog between the hill, with your POV that shows a nature in its full glory, free of roads. Congratulations.
Regards
Marine

Hello Karsten,

What an unusual, exotic scene. The composition and colors are wonderful, but the scene deserves to be submitted in much larger format. I see that it a mere 610x398 in size; 800x522 pixels in size, and still no more than 300 KB.

Regards,
