Wow. What's not to like in this shot? It is worthy of the Best of '06 challenge, and I hope that it does well. The colors, depth, textures, and detail are all amazing, and while a bit over the top, it works. Good luck this week.
Post actions
a beautiful scene, good luck, the greens sing through this photo with a dark blue sky above, great processing, 9

This has nico written all over it. Dreamscape of the best sort, when'ya gonna teach me your stuff. Love it! 10

Breathtaking image tastefully processed. WOW!
Post actions
Ah... looks like paradise really exists! What can I say? Awesome shot, awesome colors, awesome find!! Don't know, if I like the two people sitting there... on the one hand, they add depth and interest to the photo but on the other hand they "ruin" the perfect landscape. Anyway: 10!
Post actions
8 - Very nice. The blues in the clothing of the people match well. Maybe (if you had it), a little more height/sky may have given this even more of an edge, but perhaps just 'another image', if that makes sense.
Post actions
"WOW this is just spectular, and I love it very much.....
Post actions
Awesome composition. Simply gorgeous tones. Very nice work!
Post actions
extraordinary. i can only imagine the time it took to process this. reminds me of the type of landscape work ed clarke used to do.
Post actions
Post actions
Very ethereal, dream like quality to this photo. The soft focus and deep color saturation make it feel surreal.
Post actions
A superb view with an amazing sky! The post-processing here is just a tad over the top for my tastes, but did give it a surrealistic look, rather than reality. Still a gorgeous shot!
Post actions
Post actions
Egads! What a fabulous job of processing you did on this one! Well executed as well, though the split sky is a bit of a distraction - makes one think that you used a polarizer on too wide a lens, but I'm not sure if that's what created that or not. << 9 >>
Post actions
such strong saturation yet it works so well ...... stunning and beautiful contrasts in all ways ... =10
Post actions
Great detail and color, well done
Post actions
Was probably a pretty landscape before you photoshopped it. :)
Post actions
Beautiful capture. I love the painterly feel to this image. I would love to be sitting there meditating on the surrounding beauty. Excellent!
Post actions
A little to much for my taste.......... the angle is great and the view fantastic but the coloradjustments you made make no sense to me
Post actions
Lovely - I presume HDR, but done right. Great composition. My vote for a ribbon.
Post actions
Beautiful colors and sky. I think the people in the picture is a nice touch.
Post actions
Post actions
wow this is my fav so far now. great good on the processing 10

Beautiful image, nice colors and sky.
Post actions
Such amazing colors! Beautiful image!
Post actions
Looks very unnatural, to much tone mapping or something. The sky looks good but the rest looks more like a painting than a photograph.
Post actions
I Love this spot overlooking Lough Tay. (usually overcast but spectacular in sunlight). I love the colorings in this photo, and the beach at the head of the lake as well as he details on the 2 figures! Well done!
Post actions
Post actions
The colors seem a little strange to me somehow but I really like this shot. Back to bump you up to 8.
Post actions
WOW.... this may not be to everyones taste, but it certainly has impact.. great work
Post actions
IMHO quite over-processed. Beautiful but doesn't look like photography anymore again IMO and to my eyes. Great work though.
Post actions
Wow, nice shot. I like the surreal look to this (8)
Post actions
What an amazing capture, it is magical. I could stare at it for hours!
Post actions
I love the perspective. I love the sky - the deep blue is wonderful. I think the green is just a shade too neon and takes away from the overall package.
Post actions
HDR and wide angle lens - beautiful shades of blue/green. It's nice to have the couple.
Post actions
wow ... ahh I think we have a winner!
Post actions
Very surreal looking photograph, great composition. Awesome sky, the jury is still out on the PP of the ground. Very nice, 8!
Post actions
Very nice picture........

Incredible scenery.A tad too overprocessed for my taste.
Post actions

I hope that one's hanging up somewhere !
Post actions
I see you ran this through the DPC color filter. :P A visual treat regardless.
Post actions
oh my this is stunning,the thumb does not do this justice at all. Great composition :o)
Post actions
one of the best landscapes I've seen. full marks
Post actions
Beautiful! I guess this is HDR (something I know very little about). There seems to be a bit too much blue on the mountain
Post actions
Post actions
great editing really brings out the colours and drama of the place...glad the people are in it to give some perspective, althought it looks like a better image of the lake from where they are sitting
Post actions
Very nice use of the tonal space.
Post actions
Nice scenery, but the image is overprocessed for my taste.
Post actions
O M G! This is one of the, if not THE best one yet! the processing is dead on. And the landscape is amzing. You got my vote ;) 10
Post actions
Awesome scene. The size and placement of the 2 people really makes it.
Post actions
I just had a wack attack. Awesome
Post actions
Post actions
Post actions
nice tone mapping. Sky looks unnatural, mabe over polarized. I find I am not liking the polarizer effect in digital as much as I did with film. The blues no not look the same, flatter I think. Still a good capture, great colors.
Post actions
Lovely shot, but a little over processed for my taste
Post actions
this is awesome. I need to learn how to post-process like this! But moreover, you've captured this moment of two people enjoying the tranquility of a sublime view. My first '10' so far, good luck.
Post actions
This picture would do well on its own without the heavy saturation. I love the scene, skys, and the depth of this picture.
Post actions
I hope this isn't in Iceland... :)
Post actions
Absolutely fabulous. Perfect comp and coloration. Man this is brilliant. 10
Post actions
Great landscape and perfect composition. But IMHO you overdid the postprocessing a little bit. It looks too unnatural for my taste (voted 8). Good luck in the challenge.
Post actions
fantastic, i like the fact that horizon is on the middle coz with classic compo setup you would cut the beautiful grass or sky off, right ? you made a right decision ... and the dudes on the left fill the emotion of the photo, congratz and thanks for sharing ... 10

looks like a fairy tale land
