Nice composition and colour contrast with the plants.

Hi Christian, I think this is a unique NZ picture. The foreground flowers are great. DOF is pretty good also. The lighting conditions look like they were a little unforgiving, therefore I'd adjust the gamma settings to change that slight washed out look.

Great work though.

Welcome to TE! This is a really nice composition. The sky is a little overexposed, so I did a workshop by tracing an edge around the sky and adding contrast and backlighting to the sky. I also added some color saturation to the picture as a whole. Hope you like it.

Salut Christian,
Tres belle composition, j'aime beaucoup le contraste entre les montagnes denudees et le parterre de fleurs.

Hi Christian, beautiful shot. Such a lovely composition, the scenery is stunning on it's own, but the flowers in the foreground really add an extra element.

Well done :)

The simplicity of this shot is staggering. I love the flowers in the foreground. It gives a huge impact to the contrasting empty hills in the bg. Colin's WS addressed some important elements of this photography.
