It looks like a framed landscape image hanging on the wall...

Armando, another =1 to both comments  :) .  Do you happen to know the metering you were using?  I always seem to blow my attempts at similar.  My wife has no problem getting these with her EM1/EVF  >:( , ;)

Armando, beautiful image!  Very pleasant to look at.

Tommie, spot metering off the hills would do the trick.

Thanks for the comments
I took the family for a few days to a nearby town called Zacatecas, since we planned at the last minute we got  this hotel in outskirts

Tom,
spot metering is what I use when I want to protect the highlights, and if I'm planning to recover the shadows in PP I'll expose for 1EV during my metering

The window frame is a nice take on reality.

I really like the window framed shot as well.
Have tried this sort of thing myself in the past, but without the same success as here.

Thanks for the comments

the spot vs matrix metering is a button I use often

here is another example, my daughter on the other side of a cannon barrel

I do that too (spot vs matrix).
Cool shot!

Ahh, I'd be happy to wake up to that view anytime. Darn shame about those power lines. It seems to me that with all the signals delivered wirelessly we could find a solution to sending power where it's needed without ruining our views and the land those are erected upon. I lost mucho dinero when the power company decided to run a new transmission line through my ranch. They not only ruined the view but also much residual value of the land. (and I got paid squat!)
