Nice work, Jim. This has a lot going for it. Color, texture, magical light, and enough visual pathways to keep the viewer busy for a long time.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks so much, I am glad you liked it. I think you hit on what drew me to that scene, there are so many visual pathways in that scene. I am glad you picked up on that.

Nice hues in that sky Jim
Looks to be a magical world here, rather amazing to my eyes, not sure how you put it all together but it sure has a great feel and look to it sir
I may not be liking the heavy framing is the only thing that nudges me a bit here?

Jim, I am going to disagree with the majority. The technical side of this shot is excellently executed. The composition is however very busy, and by evening out the exposure to the extent that you have done it has become even busier. My overall feeling is that you have tried to include too much into this shot. (just my two cents).

Thanks Helen, it's always good to hear everyones views. I have a similar view but with a slightly different angle that you might find more appealing. I need to post that this week.

Jim what struck me about the shot was that as opposed to having a single perspective my eye went all about the shot and liked every part of it.It is a complex image and that is why I like It.Well Done.Doug M
Could you share some of the techs of it..Camera/lens/.aperture/ss/iso/exposure comp..metering.HDR or not well done

truly stunning shot, amazing scene and comp and lighting!! wow!
(although it looks a bit over cooked for my tastes, the foreground seems a touch too bright and intense compared to the sky and lit mountain and such, it's not physically possible for those elements to have such relative brightness to each other, you can't have objects like that lit more brightly than the sources and more reflective objects getting direct source lighting, although getting over the naturalness and taking it as an abstract work of art it's pretty impressive with the glow colors)
Maybe because of the capability of the Nikon D800's DR range?
....give you that one!!!
