    I haven't had a lot of time to process landscape images of late, but here's a single exposure from the Mountain Zebra National Park in the Eastern Cape. We had come back from our morning game drive a bit early and the scene behind our house was nice.

    Techs:
    Canon 7D with 10-22mm USM @ 10mm
    f11 @ 1/60 SS @ ISO-100
    Kenko Pro CPL

    Morkel - nice blue sky and I like the clouds and, of course, the techs are good but I can't say the fg really intrigues me. The rocks to the rhs look like broken bricks (though they may not be).

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Morkel I have to bow as I you're a Wildlife ph. winner.. Here i don't see any point of interest. The critiques must should be constructive. yes.

    Thanks for the comments, guys.
    Not my strongest landscape image, yes, as mentioned I am behind on my processing.
    Wanted to throw this one out there and see what you thought...I felt the anthill was strong enough point of interest here - maybe not?

    Hi Morkel, I agree the way the ant hill was originally presented was not a strong foreground. I like the sky and the warm light. I cropped from the top and left in order to accentuate both the sky and the anthill.
    Added a small touch of contrast also. IMO it makes for a stronger presentation...
