It looks absolutely stunning! It has quite the fantasy feeling between the colors and standing at the sea of clouds. This probably comes down to personal taste, but I would edit out the hiking sticks. But really it looks glorious.
Image looks great. The only changes I'd make would possibly be to processing to selectively add a little more structure and clarity to the foreground rocks and distant peak area. Agree with others that a shot cropped to take out some of the foreground might also be interesting (letterbox crop or pano).
I agree...a little dodge and burn in the foreground just to add some "personality". Many times, having a person in a landscape shot is distracting. This, however, adds a very nice bit of perspective.
I wasn't referring to dodging and burning actually. That really only lightens or darkens an area. I'm talking more about increasing the details in those areas by increasing the clarity, details, or structure sliders in something like Lightroom or Luminar. You can apply these adjustments with masks painted into just the rocks so you only get the extra detail where it would make sense, and not in the clouds or other softer areas.
love it mate! Love everything about it but if there's something to nitpick (which is not major) would be try separate the tip of the mountain from the horizon clouds
I think the only thing I would change is the fact that I wasn't there! Haha
Great shot, from the cloud inversion to the colours in the sky, it's perfect!
The only thing I'd change is clothing/gear. I'd rather see a traveller than a photographer on that spot. So the tripod and bag are superfluous to me. The rest is great. I tried cropping it in, losing the foreground and part of the mountain on the left, but it doesn't add anything. Plus the grass, even though it's barely visible, has some leading lines towards the clouds. Where was this ?
Wonderful composition with beautifully soft textures in the sky and clouds. It’s great that you are eager to improve an already excellent image. Some things to consider: (1) the foreground appears to have been underexposed as often happens with a single image. Bracketing and exposure blending may have made this easier for you. (2) the halo on the mountain is likely due to working with that single image. It will especially occur when using dehaze and/or clarity sliders. It can be corrected using the stamp tool on darken mode. If you don’t know how to do this you can contact me. (3) you have the right idea with leading lines. Had this been my image I would have put more light on the far ridges of the mountain since this would have made sense with light direction. It also would keep the viewer progressing into the image rather than providing a “block”. I like that ess curve that goes from the lower right corner to the photographer. It could be gradually lightened to guide the eye first to the photographer. As it is, your main light goes down the center of the image into the sky. Keep the viewer engaged as long as you can.
I don't like the person in the image. He or she is just standing there and makes the image look way to strange to be a good image. However it is often difficult to shoot pictures on a low ISO without a shutter speed of more than a second which results in motion blurring in the clouds, so you pulled off the exposure very well. Have a great day or night where ever you are.
Hello Yuangdong,
Fantastic shot! I would crop the foreground a little, but that would be my only critique. Having a person in the photo makes a real difference.
Thank you for the feedbacks! I was thinking about it but was afraid that would make the horizon too centered.
I don't think I'd change anything honestly. I could say cut out the foreground a bit but I don't think that will improve anything, just change it.
Thank you! Thought of that too but eventually gave up to avoid centering the horizon.
it's amazing! I wouldn't change nothing. Saturation seems right, composition is good, luminosity is great. Maybe cut out a bit of the foreground.
Thank you! Looks like everybody kind of agree on the foreground.

Haha. Those were actually the legs of that photographer’s tripod! But point taken! Thanks!

Lol. Looks like the dodging I have done on those areas are not enough to be noticed! Thank you for pointing that out!

Brilliant! A keeper!
