I really like the mysteriously calm atmosphere of this landscape.

I would have liked to see the same composition but with more foreground or without it. Because I find the plants in the foreground a bit distracting the way they are framed.

Wonderful image with lots of atmosphere. The colours are lovely but I agree with Morexp57, that the foreground plants are a little distracting because they are cut off too short i think.

Thank you for the input. I might retake the photo when I’m back in the location. Possibly different weather as well.

I see. I covered them with my fingers, it would have looked much better that way.
