Good Lord this photo is crystal clear. It has the appearance of a manip in that the upper portion of the image in the low land ... looks as if it were a beautiful mural I'd see painted on a wall, while a photo of the bottom half has been stitched to it. I'm sure that's not the case but that's how it struck me. It's a beautiful landscape and a handsome capture you've posted Eve.

so crisp and clear it seems almost unreal, like computer generated Lyn! Everything is so neat, not higgledy, piggledy like in the UK. :) Patti

The rock outcroppings look like basalt and the trees look as though they were intentionally planted in those neat rows. Looks like quite a lovely view from this spot.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

No wonder your country is the backdrop for so many lovely scenes in movies...I think I've told you that I once knew a woman from NZ and she came here because she married a US military man. I can't imagine how she ever bore the homesickness...what a gorgeous place and we're so lucky you're there to capture it for us...thanks.

There is something so fresh and lively about this scene. I believe the rich green of the grass contributes a good deal. The rocks in the foreground make a nice contrast to the rolling landscape leading to the misty mountains. Great composition and presentation.

Wow you’ve got leading lines, interesting angles and even a couple of dihedrals in there. And it all comes together in a very pleasing way. You have also managed to get quite a painterly look to it, which is also pleasing to my eye. That is beautifully done Eve and a real credit to you.
