Lovely shot! I really like the way you've combined the cool greens in the lower half of the image, with the warm tones of sunrise at the top - the person walking along the road adds a touch too! If I were to do anything I might run NeatImage across the sky a little, but it's just a marginal amount of noise - not significant, and certainly not enough to detract from your wonderful capture. Great work :-D

Very nice capture. I like the way there is a lone person on the road, this adds to the image a lot. It's a very good exposure too, as it keeps detail in both the bright sky and the darker land. I might have been tempted to include a fraction more on the left, as the shed looks a bit 'cut off', but it's a great pic.

A really beautiful scene. I can feel morning in this photo. That's a great sky. And the clouds shrouding the distance is very nice. A good contrast to the green in front. That little bit of fog is a nice touch, too, and the person walking to it adds a bit of interest. Very nice.

This is a lovely shot, with the beautiful colouration of the sky and the early morning mists. The colours blend so well together and it gives the impression of a vast landscape.

Nice image Mimi. The combination of colors is really successful in this shot.The landscape is simply beautiful. I am not sure about the square frame though...

Powerful colour combination, great pre-sunrise tints in the sky, lush greens and nice capture of early morning haze in the low areas. The bright roofs bottom left bother me a bit, but if you crop them out, you also loose the lone walker giving a nice feel of scale to the photo, soo..

Dear Mimi, when I first looked at it I thought this is needed to be cropped at the top. Now were I see it in large I just can't crop :) The Human element is a good detail. Very good contrast sky and greens :)

this is just lovely! I would have eliminated the rooftop and tlephone pole;;;but that's perhaps "puristic" on my part. Nevertheless, bravo

Mmm, gorgeous sky combined with layers of mist and greenery - just wonderful! Stunning colours and such a fine capture!

All the serie that you have in Angola are really nice. You have each time captured an atmosphere, a light, colors that give great composition.
Your photos are a trip by themselves!
Thank you.

What a beautiful sky, Mimi! I like the feathery fringe of trees just below the mist in the valley. I think you could crop the image above the lamp post, leaving just a narrow strip of silhouette on the bottom with those nice trees. The reason I suggest this is because there are a couple of bright rectangles in the lower left, which are distracting. This is such a serene scene, it's a shame to spoil it with "Hand of Man" intrusions.

Wow! I like how the mist played its role in this image. Also like the colors of the sunrise sky here. Wonderful catch!

Wow, brings Uganda to life, you've captured it beautifully. You've shown a good eye here. I like the inclusion of signs of human life: it wouldn't be quite as truthful without it (it also adds great perspective).
