    Hi Valerio

    Beautiful country you have here.. I like the scene but I wish for more of it in focus. I could live with the BG out of focus but not both the FG rocks and the BG.. So your choice of F5.6 is interesting..

    A nice composition with pleasing colours.
    It does look a bit soft? Perhaps add some sharpening.
    It also looks a bit light and lacking contrast - some LCE/tonal contrast will help?

    Hi Valerio - Don and Morkel have covered my thoughts well. I would definitely stop down and go for more dof when shooting landscapes. I too feel the image needs more punch particularly the mountains.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Valerio, Not sure about the f stop here either there is nothing sharp in the image and I would have preferred less contrast light.

    Hi Valerio, a nice comp but agree with the others on needing more depth of field.

    Thank you. My renewal of the subscrition has been long. Andrew I appreciate your critic. Morkel and Rachel: here a copy with more sharpness and a bit more saturation. i mainly managed on levels.
