This is the way to see the countryside without a doubt. Excellent point of view and very good depth of field. Very nice colouring.

Comment from susanlen
Great shot of people riding off into the sunset (well not quite as they are riding off into the mountains!) Scenery reminds me of old westerns you see on TV. I would say the riders look like Cowboys but there clothing is too modern. Beautiful colours in this photograph which is very well framed. Focus and DoF cannot be faulted.

This is the wild west image or my imagination of how it should be. Very interesting shot, Beautifully framed and focused as always.

The technical aspect of the photo is good, focus, lighting, DoF are well done. What is missing for me is that initial impact that causes me to look longer at the picture, thanks for sharing,John

This contains beautiful landscape with smart perspective.
The path seems to guide the viewer to the distance mountain.
I have never tried house riding, but it must be fun, epically in the peaceful place such as this.
Thank you for sharing.

I really like how you made it look like the road never ends, by cutting it off. I'm not sure if you intentionally but I like it. the colors are soft and desert-like. nice job

I do it all the time - shoot in the middle of the day. If there is anytime that I should not be shooting landscapes it's the middle of the day. I do it because that's when I'm there and I want the picture. It's OK to do it but you (and I) must realize that we aren't going to get the spectacular scenic shots that our hearts want to capture. But even with the flat light of mid-day this photo could have been better. The composition is great. You have a good eye but there are some technical points that I want to bring to your attention. First of all I'm not seeing a focal point. The photo appears to be equally "soft" throughout. The riders in the foreground should have been crystal sharp. That and an f/8 or f/11 or f/16 and it would have been so much better. A grad ND filter would have helped greatly with the sky and background cliffs. Try some of these techniques in you shooting and see the difference. Your photo shows a lot of potential. Please don't let my review discourage you. We're all learning here.

Very nice. Line of horses going up the path draws the eye to the land formations. Great color and focus.
