    Hello Valerio,

    I like your composition here. I would suggest a crop from left and right to removed those areas where the flowers are not present (makes it a bit more vertical). I know that you mentioned ROT, but I like the view of the mountains and how the flowers take me to it. That will be accentuated better with a more vertical treatment.

    Biggest issue I see here was the use of f/10 aperture. It was not enough to render the FG in focus. In the future, use a tripod if you were not and use a smaller aperture. Another option is focus stacking - you shoot multiple image with different ranges in focus and combine them in Photoshop.

    Thanks for posting.

    Hi Valerio, Roberts comments were exactly my thoughts. When shooting a landscape at F/10 you can expect an area to be soft. Tripods take care of any shutter speed issues so you can shoot at F/16-22 and not worry about camera shake.
    Good use of the grad bringing out alot of detail in the clouds.
    I have found when shooting with a wide angle at F/22,focusing a third of the distance out and being at least 3 ft away from your closest subject my images are always sharp throughout...

    Hi Valerio,
    Nice to see you go your new toy! Be careful w/ it though because you can make the sky a bit too dark. Overall, I think you did a nice job and the recommendations Robert made are good ones as are the suggestions for more dof and a tripod. Looking forward to more with the new filter!
