The viewpoint of Artist's Drive captures the paintlike feel of your composition (especially in the lower 1/2 of the picture) with the V shaped eroded stream bed helping to lead the eyes of the viewer vertically through the picture.

I like everything about it. The zigzag direction of hills is very interesting. The lighting (IMO) is just right and each hill has the perfect amount. Tons of detail and very sharp.

Very nice....agree what Sal said....I like the blue background, it adds that extra punch of colour....the image does almost have a painting effect....

What's "Velvia"?
















...just kidding. *grin*

I do wish it were bigger though, all the better to appreciate the great detail...

That blue at the top really provides great color contrast. Well done.

Even w/o the distant blue on top the nearly iridescent colors poking through the white would make an attractive photo, not that I'm suggesting to crop the blue. Well done

Great. Among my preferred from yours. The subtle variation of the hues is wonderful, and the composition is very nice, as always. Quite agree with Paul Bracey's comment.
