Kary,
I agree with you -- they should change it. Or, perhaps just apply a neutral theme to anything posted in the photography category. Or, even, allow the user what coloured background or theme to employ per Deviation.
Cheers.

You're right. It does improve the shadow detail. Superb, ethereal image, with great depth and beauty.

twelvemotion,
That was one incredible morning. I took another shot of that location just a few moments later; it's also in my gallery, titled Mystic Dawn.
I am off to New Zealand on Tuesday and am hoping to visit this location again to capture some spring dawn light.

hya,
Thank you!
And, yes, that was the intention -- hence the title including the word "masterstroke".

Alriandi,
Thanks for the compliment.
Unfortunately, I don't make high resolution images available as I sell prints of my work.
Thanks for your interest, though.

I saw this while listening to a very relaxing song. Couldn't look away for almost the entire thing. Great picture!

KT,
Oh, neat. What song was it, if you don't mind me asking?
Everytime I process an image, whether it be one of my astrophotographs or landscapes, I am always listening to music. Sometimes the music influences the direction I take with the final presentation!

H

Oh! Sure!
The song is by a band from Mexico called Café Tacuba and the song itself is called "Sin Titulo (Untitled)"
Here's a link to it on youtube: [link]

Wow... peaceful.... something I'd be inclined to paint.

KS,
Thank you!
It was so peaceful being there. Just me, the call of the birds around me and the enchantment of the mountains.

I completely believe you. It soothes me just looking at that picture. I'm more of a mountain type rather than a beach type of girl when it comes to appreciating nature beauty.
If I were to oil paint this... would I have your permission, with all due credits given to you, of course?

Kary,
I'm also more of a mountain person than a beach person. Although, there's a few beach-related landscape/waterscape scenes in my collection, as you'll notice.
But, I think they were special enough moments captured there to give them their own appeal.
At the root of it, I want to be close to the mountains. I love winter. I would have a ball!
You are more than welcome to paint this. I would /love/ to see a rendition of it up here, or even buy one off you, if you decide to do more than the one.
Warmest regards,
H

Thank you very much !
I don't know when I will have the time to paint this, but I truly want to, and I'll show you the result, of course.
Happy Christmas,
Kary

By the way, I just got paid. Where do I buy a print of this?

Liz,
Oh, you're so kind.
I'll send you a note, if you're still interested in a print.
Just bear in mind, that this is 6x17 format (almost a 3:1 aspect ratio).

I'm at the airport at the moment -- heading off to New Zealand.
I'll be in touch with you in a couple of weeks when I get back.

Wonderful. It would be lovely to see a larger version so as to be better transported there, which I believe your photo can carry.

bartmantoo,
Thanks for the compliment.
Unfortunately, I don't put up large versions of my images online as I sell my images as prints.

Absolutely stunning picture! Could've come straight out of Tolkien's mind!

Intrepidity87,
Thank you!
Funny you mention Tolkien, because, I recall listening to Summonning when I was processing this.

This is gorgeous, mate. Have you reprocessed it from last time I saw it? The foreground appears a touch lighter than I remember it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Troy,
Hey, mate!
Cheers for the kind words.
No, I haven't re-processed it -- it's the same image. Maybe you're seeing it on a different monitor?
I will have to revisit it at some stage as the dead pixel is bothering me!
Regards,
H

Indeed. Different monitor, this one calibrated
