Hi Wanda
Now that's a nice sky, very dynamic thanks to the clouds and giving plenty of volume to your image. Apart from that it looks very void on the ground
Have a nice day JY

hello wanda
a vast green landscape under a sky which seems to want to crush it, a broad version will have given even more size, beautiful work

Hi Wanda,
beautiful sky it is...but the valley is kinda lost among all that cloud...there's not much you can really see...

Best,

Philippe

Hi Wanda,
I love this valley - spent some time there last Sept and captured many beautiful landscpes. Love your perspective here - giving credit to the sky, where credit is due - gorgeous partly clouded sky. Nice colors and excellent depth. TFS. Gerald

Salut Wanda!!!

When you have such a calibrated sky with big puffy clouds, you have to give a try at a dramatic composition, just like the one you are proposing.

Because Qu'Appelle Valley looks more beautiful "in person" than through photography, it's a good idea to frame just a limited strip of the landscape, so the viewer as a sense of vast rugged countryside, but it's the light and what's up that steal the show.

Your colours are well balanced, the proportion are excellent and the effect of the wide angle is striking.

Well done!
