Hello Leo,
this looks like two "layers" combining two absolutely different worlds which, for some strange reason, suddenly merge for a moment and present this wonderful, beautiful picture - a combination of something "earthly" and something "divine"!
Excellent choice of POV and composition :)
Best wishes,
and a nice Sunday to you!
Elena

Hello Andreas,

It seems to me quite alone this so high tree !!! But which marvellous sight… To awake so early was worth displacement. A very beautiful photograph with a splendid light and a foreground which gives much of depth to the image. Thank you Andreas.

With all my friendships and very good Sunday,

Jean-Charles

Hi Leo, I saw this are from the air between Chenai and Kerala, and was sorry not to have the camera in my hand. It was an unexpectedly beautiful mountain range, and it is good to see it captured by you so well. The composition is superb. One of the best from India. TFS. Murray.

gildasjan (23915) 2009-10-11 2:08

Bonjour Andreas
La composition est parfaite avec cet arbre penché et ses touches de rouge,ce relief est magnifique et la lumière au premier plan à gauche est idéale.
Bon dimanche

Hallo Andreas!
Das frühe Aufstehen hat sich aber gelohnt. Was für ein Blick! Die Tiefe - hier im doppelten Sinne - ist atemberaubend und es bleibt einem nur das Staunen ...
Das unglaublich schwierige Licht hast Du toll gemeistert.
Grüße aus dem - na, Du weißt schon - Siegen!

Hello Leo,
Wonderful and peaceful composition, excellent light management and colors, very good DOF, POV, clarity and sharpness. Superb horizon. A splendid photo!
Have a nice Sunday, Vasilis.

jimkil (614) 2009-10-11 2:41

Its beautiful Leo
The light is well handled on your part, the layers of fog are mysterious while the lone tree with its red bloom looks superb. Not sure what time you took this, but the 4.30 wake up call to get to this point shows why it pays to get up early.
Well done
Regards
Jim

PixelTerror (86282) 2009-10-11 2:42

Hallo Andreas
It looks like an alainh picture so about the mountains and clouds, but far more exotic when it comes to the place, great compo and I like these red flowers on the tree
Have a nice sunday JY

Servus Leo,
super Aufnahme, ich bin begeistert. Aber du weißt ja, der frühe Vogel... Genauso ist es mit dem Fotografieren. Der hingucker sind für mich der Horizont und die Blüten. Danke

A magic light, and the mist and clouds in the background make a very special atmosphere.

belido (16627) 2009-10-11 6:01

Hi Leo,

what a fantastic scenery! There two details those make this an attractive photography: the clouds over the valley and the lovely tree and its flowers. Impressive register!

Hi Andreas,
It's quite amazing, you're higher up than the clouds. Nice picture, although the sun caused some flare.

Hallo Leo,

fantastisch! Es ist schon ein einzigartiges Gefühl, so hoch über dem Nebel zu stehen! (Siehe mein Bild von heute.) Und diese Komposition ist wirklich wunderbar, mit dem Baum und die roten Kleckse, das Gras, die Steine. Wirklich gelungen! Hut ab.

Ich wünsche dir eine schöne Woche!

Liebe Grüße
Linda

Hi Leo,
what a wonderful photo.
The light is great and the composition fantastic. Absolute top work.

emka (21744) 2009-10-11 14:47

Hi Andreas, certainly it was worth getting up early. The grasses here growing on the rocks, the hills (Western Ghats?) and first of all the lonely tree are very beautiful I do not remember if I went through Munnar. I was in Kumily and Periyar and Ooty. Is it far away?

Regards

Malgorzata

C'est vraiment somptueux là!Pas besoin de longs commentaires, un petit chef d'œuvre, c'est tout!

Philippe (11775) 2009-10-12 6:00

Hi, Leo. Very nice mood in this pic. The clouds and the haze in the distance create a morning ambience and also depth in the image. The tree is very well placed in the composition and makes a good foreground, just like the rock on the left. Very nice landscape.
Have a nice day,
Philippe

Budapestman (42188) 2009-10-12 6:35

Hi Andreas,
picturesque view with fabled mood, the composition is very nice, the foreground is beautiful, the background is mysterious. Amazing landscape, indeed. Have a nice week!
George

jlbrthnn (38233) 2009-10-12 6:55

Hello Andreas,
you found a balcony well placed, and a foreground of any beauty. The well positioned tree is a very attractive element, and the red color of its fruits, fact of being delayed the glance before going towards this sea of clouds. Excellent realization. Congratulations.
Have a nice day
Cordially
Joël

gilou530 (35350) 2009-10-12 9:15

this is a super shot Leo, great view

zanzi (4550) 2009-10-12 12:59

Hi Leo
I like the pov and the way you composed your picture.
I have been told that at this place you can meet swedish girls usually spending most of their holidays at the beach ;-) Isn't it true ?
Bravo
Chris

Cricri (43220) 2009-10-13 8:32

Hi Andreas
Très jolie la composition de cette image, l'effet de lumière sur l'avant et la brume en fond donne un merveilleux contraste, très belle image
Friendship
cricri

eversmile (6221) 2009-10-13 8:53

Hi Andreas

This one is curious... the vivid red of the flowers contrasts so strongly with the misty background; it looks magical! And undoubtedly very charming. Your composition is excellent but I wonder what it would look like framed without the grass? I imagine it could even be more impressive, striking. Or, if we could desaturate the grass? What do you think?
Anyway that's a great job and a complete surprise from Munnar...
Regards
Marine

HimalAnda (1060) 2009-10-13 22:27

Hello Andreas,

Whaou ! What a wonderful view ! The composition is perfect with this tree on the right. The mist on the hills in the background brings an atmosphere to the picture.

Stéphane

cyborg83 (3798) 2009-10-13 23:19

Hello Leo,
I think it is worth to wake up so early and see that sunrise!!
The view is amazing, the composition with the tree is great!!
Those clouds look like a duvet!

Hellas (5131) 2009-10-13 23:47

Hi Leo!
You captured and framed very well the view!
Low clouds hung suspended over the land and you, thanks to that point of view, had the benefit of a beautiful shot!
I suppose the altitude was quite high!

Thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Athanasios.

s_lush (2278) 2009-10-14 7:08

Hello Andreas,
This is a really outstanding shot, with so unique composition and aesthetic quantities. First of all, the moment was chosen perfectly well. In addition, the background, mountains and the tree in the foreground are are lightened and colored highly well. Excellent job!
Best regards,
Sergiy

gneufeld (15179) 2009-10-14 16:13

Hi Andreas,
This is amazing - wow, very high altitude terrain and vegetation with that lone tree leading into the wind. A very compelling image very well presented. TFS. Gerald

Emile (20007) 2009-10-14 19:28

Hola Leo.
Very impressive view from the top, very well captured from a very good high POV. It was worthwhile to get up at 4:30am to get this superb shot. Excellent composition.
TFS.
Best regards.

avene (11056) 2009-10-15 6:11

hi Leo,
scenes like this is what keeps me getting up in ungodly hours, lol :) love the feeling of immense distance, seems you were standing on to of the world. the layers of clouds and fog add to the surreal feeling, great shot.

best,
Kristine

Very nice.
