I like the color combination. Point of shooting a little high (it Tends to flatten, crush). Sin to cut the plant, at the top right. The shot from below would solve Both problems.

Thanks for the suggestions, Lanfranci. I'm a little weak on my landscapes, so all suggestions are greatly appreciated. :)

A third time. I commented this image twice before: The first time the comment didn't appear after I thought I had submitted it (maybe Juza's server error ate it). The second time I hit the "Go back one page" button without wanting to do so and my second try to comment this image was gone, too...

So, third try!!!!
I like this image. It reminds me of those images that are put on the front page of the luminous landscape website. Those images aren't fancy HDR ones and most of the times I think: Hmmm? What is so special about this image? Why is it put on the front page? But then I realize (slowly) that I couldn't take an image like that - they get more and more interesting the longer you look at them. This image, John, is like that. There is much to discover, but there are many elements that create an interesting tension within the frame: green vs red, light gray vs dark gray, sharp branches vs soft sky, death vs beginning of life. There is a refreshing asymetric element between foreground and background. And the perspective is putting all these things together.

I would have done what Lanfranchi suggested: Lower POV and the result would have been boring. Disappointing. I totally understand Lanfranchi's opinion but this image thrives from its higher POV.

Edit: Huh, seems to be posted! I forgot that it is technically perfect. Sharp, well balanced. That certainly adds to its amazingness.

I'll better finish and submit before I delete my text again... Thanks for sharing this gem and thanks for this inspiration!

Thanks for your kind comments, Ziphius. I wondered myself about whether or not to try a lower POV, but the terrain itself dictated this shot. I really appreciate the detailed comments you made. I can learn a lot from critiques explaining why a shot was liked or disliked. So thanks again for taking the time. (By the way, I added you to my friends list. Hope we can learn a lot from each other as time goes by.)
