Landscape

When the weather is cold, misty and rain threatening to pour down (which it did shortly after the pic was taken) you make a landscape :)
This is the view entering a private game reserve nearby.

Wonderful vista Elsa.
Bet those clouds were scudding along and that mountain range looks moody and muscular.

I just got a pano from my Iceland trip printed this week - now I just need to find a wall with enough room to hang it on.

What a landscape.  The pano looks spectacular, but I see lots of interesting elements.  The mountain capped with the dooming clouds on the right-hand side, for example.

Lovely Elsa.       So, images of your visit to the Game Park coming up?  :) . I am waiting to see how the Monsoon unfolds before heading for the mountains.  Last year I had a disastrous trip to the Western Ghats  :( .

Impressive pano Elsa.  Are those mountains high, compared to the road?

Hi Elsa
This is lovely!
I would eliminate a bit on the sides (very little on the left, more on the right) in order to only "focus" on the montains. The shot would be better balanced in my opinion. The road would be central now but it doesn't matter to me.

Marvelous shot Elsa. Apart from the scenery I'm amazed how beautiful it is exposed front to back! Nothing look harsh in this picture (which I fail at most of the time). Someday I've to take photography class from you.
