It's very beautiful in that neck of the woods.Nicely composed, tack sharp.I was thinking a tighter crop up top?

Happy Holidays Alex.

Nice soft colors. I think most of the sky could be lost which I would feel different about if there were some nice clouds.
The couple on the trail makes this a nice shot that otherwise would be somewhat lacking in interest. My eyes are immediatly pulled to them and then wanders about the scenery.
Nice!

Thanks for replying, Rick and Frog.

How's this? Is it a little too much cropping?

Thanks both!

I like the cropped version. The horizon works better and the sky had little to offer anyway. Nice work.

Thanks, Greg! :thumbsup:
