A lovely shot and a nicely placed foreground interest which leads nicely into the image. Nice use of HDR as well as I would never have known without your notes. Well taken

An interesting entry to the contest. The barren landscape leading the eye to the volcano in the background but still supporting the growth of the prickly pear shows us how versatile and adaptable mother earth is. Good luck.

Comment from ABG Photography
Wow what an interesting shot you have here. At first glance, I thought it was taken out in Arizona. And then I read your notes which were very interesting. Thank you. It's a beautiful shot with the cactus up front in the right most third of the composition. It definitely competes with the mountain top for focal point.The colors are bold and the sharply focused images are really wonderful to look at.

The sharpness and clarity in every little detailâ€"from the textures of rocks and land to the softness of the cloudsâ€"showcase a mastery of both technical skill and artistic vision.Well done! Good luck!

A very lovely visual present here of this landscape. Composition shades tones and presentation as well done. Thank you for sharing this unique scene.

Comment from ArtistCarl
Very good composition with tweaking the one third landscape rule creating an interesting scenic view. The prickly pear juxtaposed against the mountain, or volcano peak really causes a nice interpretation of depth while the whole vision is of beautiful vast desolation. Reasons for my six-star vote.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Quite a few relatives of mine and friends have been there but not me so far. Your fine, full and appropriate composition suggests to me that it is a barren and arid region? Nicely done!

Thanks Nikman, it's an interesting place but rather ruined by tourists now.
