Hello Ricardo,
This is a fantastic view of the fertile valley and the mountains. You placed the colourful textiles well in the foreground, where they counterbalance the distant snowy peak perfectly. It's also a technically superb photo.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Ricardo,

This is a very interesting photograph.
The view, across the cultivated valley floor to the rocky mountain slopes, is just amazing.
The clarity is excellent, as are the colours, seen particularly well on the Beta site.
I love how you have anchored the f/g with the patterned blanket, it really does ensure the sense of depth!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

A fantastic sight from the Cusco area, Ricardo, taken from a high POV.
No wonder this area draws many tourists to see the the ancient Inca's lands.
Bom domingo,
Ike

Its a very good landscape. Including something in the foreground is always a good idea to increase the feel of the space.

Hello Ricardo, an excellent shot. You have included so much in this scene, and all in perfect focus.
A perfect TE post. I was totally unaware of this part of Peru. It is very beautiful.
Excellent point of view, and including some colourful clothing, that's a bonus.
Regards Jean.

Hi Ricardo,
spectacular view of the valley. In the centre the valley is so flat as if a airport strip for landing.
May be the aliens were indeed using it in the past :)
Fantastic colors, great processing to emphasize the colors and details.
Very natural and at the same time eye catching composition,
M
