You indeed have a beautiful view when this photo was taken, and I especially like the small pine tree you have included in the foreground. The cloudy sky is also especially lovely, and the distant mountains are standing out so well from it.

The photo is sharp showing clear and well defined details, and the exposure is spot on. I also appreciate the nice and natural colors.

I also like the format you have cropped the photo into, and with the small tree placed off to the right, it is a very good balance in the composition. It is a lovely and well taken photo with an excellent DOF, and I wish you luck with the contest.

This is a great landscape shot with lovely colours in it. The horizon is a bit near the middle of the picture for me and I think that I would have taken it in portrait mode with that live tree on the right as the foreground interest (trying to avoid the dead one next to it). However, having said that the picture is very indicative of wild open spaces and does it well so good luck with it.

Well its outside for sure and with great depth and good dof,my only thought would to have a bit more foliage in the front to make the dof even better...Brian

Thought I reviewed this previously - maybe didn't hit save..
Love the landscape which shows the layers of the scene well. Colors are very realistic and the overall composition is good. Focus and dof are also great.
Now to definitely hit the Save button :) :)

I'm not a fan of the foreground, seems to dark to me but it's just my opinion. Doesn't take away from a well-focused, detailed image. I love the mountains in the background. Helps tie the image together. Nice work!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of the lovely location before you. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

This photo captures the beauty of the natural landscapes in western Colorado. The combination of wide open meadows, blue skies, and majestic mountains creates a breathtaking view. The use of AI Clear and lens blur adjustments has helped to bring out the depth and clarity in the image, while the color enhancing filter has added a vibrancy to the scenery. The spot sharp editing has given the photo a crisp and sharp look. Overall, this photo is a great representation of the stunning scenery in the Uncompahgre National forest.
