This would look so magnificent at sunset or sunrise. You still manage to capture its drama here, and the deep green trees at bottom really make this pop and add distance and grandeur to the scene!
The trees in front look sort of oversaturated, whether natural or not. I think a level adjustment on the yellows would blend them in a little more. I think its good they stand out, but only to a point. The haziness of this picture covers up some of the good detail in the hill in the background
This looks like an awesome place to visit. Would a lower angle maybe have given a bit more interesting perspective? Looking up more with the trees a bit larger and then the mountain looming just over the top and through the trees? There is great color in the foreground, but the contrast and color seems to fade and become more bland the farther back it goes. Hard thing to fix, but maybe smaller aperture (5.6-8.0) and slightly longer shutter speed? Worth a shot
I'll pass on the same wise advice I was given once for a similar shot. If you're going to have trees in the foreground, then they shouldn't have an uneven appearance otherwise they become a bit distracting and divert the eyes of the viewer. Also it helps to have a bit of interest in the sky with some cloud formations (but unfrtunately mother nature doesn't always want to help us out there). Other than that it's a very fine shot
This brings back some memories, I've hiked to the top of this lookout, awesome, beautiful country.
The photo looks a bit hazy, maybe earlier or later in the day or a polarizer filter to cut down the haze.
the camera seems more fcused on the trees in the foreground and without them you could have boosted the color better without getting neon weirdness a 5
