    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?

    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.

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

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

    TFS,

    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!
