So glad to have you back posting, Marky Mark...
A stunning image in all respects. I am looking forward to your contributions in helping other Landscape contributors improve their skills and image-making capabilities.
Love this, expertly exposed, composed and processed. Would love to see it printed BIG...

Don't have much to add. I love how your vertical and horizontal lines work together. Those lines make the image for me.

Looks great Mark, like the way the highlights look more natural and the use of a grade filter worked nicely. I haven't tried a grade on a starburst as I thought it may cause flare, will have to give it a try. Stunning lines and love the light up FG. Great detail and contrast as well, make me want to go there.

The sweeping foreground is great and the grad filter worked perfectly.
You can post 1200 wide and I would like to see it larger.

I agree with Dan...a little bigger would be nice (I post at 1000px wide but you can go to 1200px).
