There are a lot of light colors seen in your pic, with varying degrees of intensity, with slight overexposure on the rocks on the "valley". I like the height you've taken this from as it creates its own wonderful depth into the valley below. I'm not familiar with Portugal, but I assume that you're going through the autumn transformation and perhaps that's why there are so many bare trees. The two light evergreens add interest here and I think that the yellow and equally light green seen on the ground must be a product of the changing seasons, however, I feel like the clarity is lacking on the white rocks in the background and the composition might have been enhanced by taking this from a slightly different perspective, in my humble opinion. I'm glad I didn't have to climb those hazardous rocks :) :) :) PJ

This composition has some beautiful colors and textures in it but I don't it has been developed to it's full potential yet. I get the feeling it needs to be put through Levels and the black and white points adjusted. It's a little flat looking color wise. Even so, still a very attractive piece.

Lovely composition and lots of depth. I agree with Pat above that it could use a little 'spark' of more color. Looks like it would be a rugged climb and is a very nice presentation though.
