[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
An algae covered rock, in Terelj National Park. This area is great for hiking, & almost deserted, if you make an effort to get away from the 3 tourist 'ger' camps. (A ger is a circular Mongolian tent, the yurt looks like a wigwam). Polarized. Another blue sky day in Mongolia.

I liked the yellow green colour contrast, against the blue sky here. The park is about 50 km north of the capital, Ulan Bator (also spelt as Ulaan Baator).

Inspiring scenery, from a country that I'd like to discover - I thought it was mainly steppe and grassland, obviously there are other things to see as well !
Have a good day,
TFS,
Cath.

Hi Chris.

Hi Chris, good one, with beautiful colours on the rcks and the trees, under an amazing sky and with a great view down the mounts.
thansk,ciao

Hello Chris.
Great viewpoint used in this shot. The colours are, as you say, marvellous, and the exposure is terrific. Great sense of space and stillness in this unique landscape.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Chris,
A fine composition with great depth; I like the positioning of the rocks on a diagonal leading to the distant mountains. Lovely tones and textures, particularly in the foreground rock. Very good sharpness.

Hello Chris,
Quite intersting to see patches of green and brown on this national park. It appears like a desert. A good one. Greetings! Danilo

Great landscape and must be quite interesting to explore. Good capture Chris with lots of details, good use of foreground stone.

Hi Chris,
strong contrasts in that landscape, and the rock formations are interesting. I like the composition of the line of the horizon and that rock in front.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Chris,

Un décor impressionnant ! Les couleurs semblent un peu pâle mais cela n'enlève en rien la beauté du paysage ! Le rocher de gauche est un peu trop présent dans l'image, l'oeil est attiré par lui et ne décroche pas ! Il aurait été plus judicieux de le rendre plus petit dans la compo !

Well this is some different terrain than I've usually seen in pictures of Mongolia - rocky and even some forest. Good use of the wide angle to show the close up view of the rock while also showing us the distant view, giving this a great sense of space. Well done!

Hi Chris,
Spectacular view of this park with a wonderful perspective.
The sharpness is lovely and colourd so natural.
Well done!

Hi Chris
Very nice composition and strong contrasts.
Nice POV here,well done.
TFS/Regards

I like this, Chris, very well controlled exposure in difficult light conditions, photographing stones in this light isn't exactly easy... Nice deep view, good DoF!

Cheers

Hi CHris,
An attractive peaceful landscape and sweet colors which contrast well with this magnificent sky.
Friendly

Hi Chris,
Great landscape well taken, good frame with this rock in the foreground, nice sharpness to seen the stone texture, tfs.

mongolia looks fascinating...i love deserts to some extent having been in some..
i think i could put this on my list of want to's
you make the topography very interesting with the inclusion of the rock
the modelling of the sun from the right gives us direction as westerners read a shot..l>r
will research this more
cheers
