The mountain is deserted but not desolate because there is no misery involved. Its very pretty but not quite desolation. I love how the colors reflect off the bottom of the clouds. 6
i think a bit less sky and a bit more of the mtn would help this image a lot, the sky to me is not what desolate is, to me it is more the barren deserted landscape.
i would highly suggest more land than sky for this one.
well done though just the same, and no offense intended as we all see things thru different eyes.
