    Oh. My. God...That is absolutely stunning! I want to live there. Right there. Where is that? I want to breathe that air, touch every blade of grass and just bask in that beauty. The colors, oh I could rant about this all day and plan on staring at it for a long time. Amazing amazing photo, and no offense to your skill, but I bet you didn't have to work too long to get that shot.

    Re: In the Rough

    hahaha, that's my first reaction when I saw this place too I said I wanna live here and never leave. but I left, one day if life is good to me, I'll try to move there.

    It's lauterbrunnen, Switzerland. Heaven on earth!! Not only are the mountains beautiful, they also have pristine lakes too. my two favourite things in the world! mountains and water all in the same place.

    Re: In the Rough

    Stunning location, Liban. Take me with you too :P
    This is hard to critique, but what comes to mind is wishing the clouds were not smothering the outline of the mountains against the sky, and, I think this scene would look incredible from a higher vantage point where we can see the houses situated in the land contrasting off the size of mountains. A 200 ft scaffold should do it, (note to myself to add to camera bag)
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    I think I would get rid of the jet stream. But that's about it. Great shoot.

    Re: In the Rough

    Scape, I have some pics of this place. I'll try to get them out. I have so many un-worked on shots from all these years I'm shooting, it's insane. I'll try to post one later today or tomorrow morning. I also might have some in my gallery. I know i uploaded a similar one here on critique forum way back. thank u

    lol Gary, it sure will make for a fantastic photo trip. but before switzerland, the place you will enjoy more photographically is havana. I can just see in my mind the fantastic photos you can come back with. I was on a train when taking this shot and I was snapping away. The good thing is for the more adventerous they have paragliding in the valley. If you can stomach jumping from a plane you won't need a scaffold. thanks!

    Greg, I think you said the same thing from another shot I had of this place lol. You really don't like jet streams.haha

    Thank y ou raven!

    oh yeah scape pack your gear!

    Re: In the Rough

    Always wanted to go skydiving...you're so lucky, most exotic place I've seen are the slums in Mexico. And I didn't even get to shoot THAT excitement -_- oh darn. Let's get all hopped up on redbull, twizzlers and fall out of perfectly good planes WOOOOO!!!

    Re: In the Rough

    scape, the slums of mexico might make for great photographs. never underestimate the ghetto! lol. of course, remove card after every few shots just incase you don't return home with your cam ;-)

    Armando, I saw that and found it cool. seems like a perfect curve in the middle there. thank u.

    Greg, that's good to know. i'll have to incorporate that in to my knowledge now. Get Rid of Jet Streams!

    Re: In the Rough

    eh...you're right, some really great portrait shots could have been taken, but I don't chance my camera. uh uh no way...nope. Besides I was with another young girl my age (16) and her mother who "lost" us for 1/2 an hour. Coulda been great, if I'd been a guy and maybe not even then. Crazy things happen in Mexico...especially to young girls.
