I haven't seen that texture before, that's pretty cool. That looks like the mountain I grew up looking at through my front window. Looks like you used one color and then darkened and lightened to create your landscape. Very well done.

Comment from dodgement


This is nice, You can get this effect in photoshop filters. The tree frames the composition and the bird breaks up the sky. Nice.

Comment from Cyeseye


Absolutely gorgeous. Fulfills the big promise of the title in resounding fashion as it is simple in structure while delivering lots of substance for readability. The texture helps me imagine a gentle breeze blowing and the warm colors speak of a beautiful fall day just getting underway. Would love to sit under that tree with a good book and bask in the sights and sounds so effectively suggested here.

    Thank you for the super review and rating, Cye!! Do you hear the crickets? :) I hadn't heard one in quite a few years until about a month ago. I heard him every evening for about 2 weeks then he disappeard. :)

    Oh yes, I hear them! Funny thing is I can't stand it when one gets in the house but I love it when they sing me to sleep while camping in the woods.

    How did that happen? LOL. My reply to you came back as though form you to me. Comic relief comes from the most surprising places...

    LOL! I see that. Funny thing is, I haven't been camping in a long time, and have no idea why I wrote that! LOL!!!

This is a really nice piece. I love your choice of warm colors. Feels like a fall sunset. Composed nicely and your single seagull adds so much to this. Really nicely done.

This is a very beautiful image. I like the subject matter but the colours are the stars of the show. So striking. I like the tree with its foliage highlighted by the sun. The foreground is very interesting and the bird in the sky is a nice touch too. The textures are very interesting and I like them!

Love the colors! This is a nice composition. Its a little grainy but does not detract from the over all impact in my opinion. Thank you for sharing.

This is a beautiful picture. I love the colors of fall which are captured here. I like the texture that you have added to the picture. I especially like the addition of the bird in the brightest part of the sky. It gives your eye that extra something to look at.
