Peruvian Andes
High in the Andes atop a lone mountain is peace and serenity ..
Worthy of the Journey !!

This female has arrived at Hamerton. This place rescues animals from all over the world, mainly endangered species, and they breed when they can.

A couple of old photos taken while the Amtrak was stopped - somewhere in Colorado, I think?
(And yes, I like that the vertical leans!)

I've photographed Ady a few times now. We get better each time as a team. This image was a fave from our latest session. I hope you like it to.

Just a heads up for anyone that may be interested (and as things are slow in the group.....).

The bottom half of this photo looks fine, albeit a little too yellow for my taste, but the sky ... way, WAY too much "HDR look" going on. Those dark halos ruin it for me.
Also, I'd like to see what's in that valley that goes through the middle of the image. Maybe there's a nice river in there?
Maybe you should visit Peru, Phillip. I agree that the sky is cartoonish, but the composition is not flawed, it's a beautiful scene.
I'm sure the fields and mountains DO look like that, but I haven't been there, so I can only judge this image on its own merits, without the added benefit of knowing the scene personally. If someone is going to share a photo of a place, the photo needs to be able to stand on its own. If I feel there could be a change or two to make this photograph stand out from the crowd of snapshots of Peru, then that's my prerogative. Without having been there, this looks like a picture of some fields and some mountains. And regardless of whether Peru "looks just like this," there are lots of other places that also look like this, with fields and mountains and overcooked skies.
Ohhh Peru so close to my heart....this photo is as close as it comes to being there. Yes they sky is overdone, bring down the yellows too, but the fields and mountains do really look like that... ;)
