Tony,
I wanted to get back to this one. It looks simlar to where I live, although we are on opposite sides of the globe. Very pretty with the mist and green fields.
Whoa! What a relief to come upon this shot after all the DNMC's I just went through. Fantastic, lovely, uplifting. Slippy & Ebert give this two thumbs up, WAY UP! The sunbeams through the rain, the colour and geometry of the fields... [10]
edit - picking this as a top ten finisher, good luck!
I like the contrast of the blue mountains and green fields, and the fact that the horizon isn't dead center helps as well. I also like the "sunbeams." However, there isn't really anywhere for the eyes to "rest" or anything that makes the shot say "Hey, I'm a super-interesting landscape, keep looking at me." I did find myself trying to see the small patch of stuff in the lower right.
