    Beautiful Sweeping view Morkel, and I really like the colour in the sky. I do see what I think is noise in the sky/clouds (espec Lower RHS), which suprises me..

    Gorgeous sky and blue hills! I wonder if a little more structure / clarity / LCE would be good.

    Hi Morkel - beautiful pastel colors and I like the overall feel to this. I also like the image design with the hills in the llc. Looks pretty good for shot through glass.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Spectacular sky Morkel. Despite the lovely mountains, I do feel that the image is a bit 'empty', i.e. there's very little in the FG to anchor the image. Maybe a lion in the FG would have solved that problem!
    I wonder whether you should add a little more contrast to the image.
