I love how you have achieved great depth in this photo. The bushes with the red flowers frame the forefront nicely and look down upon a vast valley and then the mountains in the hazy distance. Lighting is super. Eye pleasing.

Comment from Mollie213
When I look at this picture,
the one word I think of is
"grace."
It's magical with the bright
sunlight amid a little bit of fog.
And then the dark green bushes
with red flowers - just amazing to get all of this in one scene.
Graceful

Comment from sonshine
It's got some very pretty colors throughout this scene.. I do think that if you tried darkening the background the mountains would come out darker and clearer for you, but that's just my opinion;) I do like the way that you framed it, it makes a great initial impact! Thank you for sharing it with us, Fred:)

Interesting facts per artist notes. An amazing view. I like the foggy mountain at the background . Excellent color contrast between those red blooms and its greens. Well captured and is a pleasure to view.

initial impact is good. it looks a beautiful place. the mountain in the fog/haze adds layers to your image the close up of the bushes brightens things up perfectly nice job
