Here is another look at these beautiful Hills. In this image I have tried to capture the white line created by the ash and mineral decay of the hills with the line of the three tumbleweeds. These hills are soft and velvety appearing in the evening light. They are a stupendous study of line, color, shade and shadows.
Hope you enjoy...

Excellent colors, compo, frame, focus. Just really excellent.

Wonderful image, Steven.
Nature provided the beuty, you provided the wonderful photograph. Everything is wonderful, colours, lines, repetitions, the tree in the foreground...

Très jolie, beau cadrage, bravo

par contre j'ai l'impression que ton appareille pousse un peu trop les contrastes (ou toi qui abuse du filtre de netteté :) )

Hi Steven - wow, ideal mix of strong graphics and explosive colours, the painting-like image quality is a bit strange, it enhances the surreal landscape of the hills but the bushes look really oversharpened.

Wow, the colors are stunning! Almost an abstract shot, this is very creative. Good composition, high saturation is adequate here.

Good work.

Hi Steven,
Very beautiful picture. I love the colors and lines and the lining of the tumbleweeds really show how detail you are as a photographer. Bravo!
Regards, Jino.

Steven, cette photo me plaît pour son graphisme et ses couleurs c'est presque un tableau abstrait.
Jacques

Great colours! If I hadn't been sure that it is true, I would have asserted that it is either computer-animated of another world!
Well done!!

Hi Steven,
Stunning colour and form, it look almost like a painting. I think it's amazing to see the beauty in the world such as this everyday through this site.
Adrian

Amazing colors. The picture looks almost unreal. Great composition with teh color lines and the lines created by the mountains. The only thing I would do to improve it is to include a black frame. Regards, Yvonne

Wowwww Steve!!
Gosto muito das texturas mostradas neste tipo de apresentação, com o padrão bem forte no enquadramento.
Rgds.
Friend.
aznegrao.

absolutely owesome picture Steven! The is only one thing You should pay a closer attention to. It is in "post production"...the sharpness on this photograph is slightly overdone. If You look closer to strong edges, You would see strong contrasty lines ( amost black and almost white) That got tendency to "posterize" the picture. Still - what a great shot!

Exactly, Steven, "a stupendous study of line, color, shade and shadows", that's what I liked here. Really great photo, great dynamism and amazing Nature!

Hello Steven,

What a compelling image of the hills, resembling cannelloni sprinkled with paprika. The composition, perspective, colors and resolution are all flawless.

Warm regards,

I have seen other pictures of this place, and it looks amazing.
Mother Nature at best. Your picture is an abstract paint.
The bush is a perfect contrast for what concerns colors, and it helps to give the size of the place.
