D800e 14-24 f2.8 1/30s at f11 ISO100, two blended exposures.

This looks good Vivaldo. Nice light and good blending. I would consider a slight CW rotation as I know it's hard to get a "level" with this kind of comp but the LHS seems to be sloped on the horizon?

[John Chardine]

Yes Vivaldo, this is a very pleasing image to look at. You made the 14-24 "sing". I agree you could rotate a little to make the "flats" on the left look level. Who knows if they actually are level?! My eye is drawn to the rock which exits stage bottom-right. I would have tried to get the whole rock to eliminate it all together in the in-camera crop.

Hi Vivaldo,

Lovely scene and well composed...agree on the rotation. Nice work with the blending as well!

[Vivaldo Damilano]

Thanks of comments and suggestions. Will have to relook at rotation but agree with comments it does look slightly out :S3:

Hi Vivaldo - nicely done and the plant really adds to this. Rotation issue already covered.

TFS,
Rachel

Hi Vivaldo, this is very nicely done. I might would add a tad more contrast or sharpening to the clouds. That is just me!
Have a great day

Ciao

Nice one Vivaldo. If it were mine, I would add more punch to the sky, seems ever so slightly flat. What a spectacular landscape the Richtersveld is!
