    D800e 14-24 f2.8. Used one image, didn't have to blend exposures as shadows weren't that badly blocked.

    Is this in the Richtersveld, Vivaldo?
    I like the composition and mood. Foreground and midground exposure seems natural for the time of day. The sky colour just seems a bit off, too cyan and not true blue? I think it's also lacking some midtone punch.
    Let's see what others say.

    PS: Nice to see you posting again, Vivaldo...hope to see some in Wildlife as well

    Thanks Morkel I agree with you that on contrast. There is something missing, maybe not as sharp as it should be, especially in the FG

    Hi Vivaldo,



    I agree with Morkel with the comp & mood, as well on the sky color. For me the clouds look a bit brown what I assume might be orange/red!
    Overall I like the "set up"

    Have a great weekend

    Ciao

    Hi Vivaldo - looks like a dramatic view, I agree that something looks off with the color of the sky, the contrast and the sharpening. I hope you'll rework it and post again.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    I actually like the Processing, it looks like an old Kodachrome photo.
    It appears plenty sharp to me.
