Hi Chris,
What a beautiful view from here. A photo with great POV, well contrast, and rich in colors. I like the color continuously changes from green foreground to blue background. An excellent photo.

namaste chris,
good view of which a well taken shot was indeed needed.i think the trees at the bottom of the image are the most important objects due to their contrasting colours with the greens below.i can see some noise in the form of grains but as this is a relatively old photo you can expect that but the clarity especially that of the greens below and the trees are excellent.nice work.
regards,
ravish.

Hi Chris!
Again a grandiose overview from an interesting landscape!Looks like the air was a bit foggy this gives a nice,soft light.
Also very interesting how one color runs into the other,-this gives an effect like a painting.
Well done!

Impressive scenary Chris. It lamost looks like a shot taken from an airplane. I like how you have framed this with the trees on the bottom that give a natural frame.

Another shot that's over 20 years old, you have quite an impressive library of images.

It really looks like a painting, Chris. The high POV is excellent and the haze adds some mood. I like the rows of dark green trees that run like veins through the bright fields. Just beautiful.

Hi Chris,
A fantastic painting like image. In a way reminds me Hunderd Wasser. I don't know why..
The pattern looks amazing. Putting the trees and the small hill in front increase the depth perfectly. The misty look of the slopping background hills completes the scenery. Well done.
Thanks for sharing...

Bonsoir Chris,
Belle vue plongeante sur une vate plaine morcelée.
Une grande vue avec ces montagnes au fond.
J'ai essayé un Ws pour faire ressortir les différents niveaux, mais trop difficile d'obtenir un résultat correct sur cette image de 82 scannée ;-))
Merci pour le partage.
Pierre
