Hi Melissa. Nice first post. Congrats on your outside success of this image. The composition is lovely with all the different shades of green and the lighting. I see a tad of banding in the sky mainly on the left, but perhaps that was an upload problem. I look forward to viewing more of your work. Well done.

Melissa, this is a great shot, it's nice and clear, from corner to corner. :) The landscape is simple, but deep and balanced. High marks on it, of course. Welcome to caedes and keep posting!

Welcome on the net, very nice debut. Admiring your photo I am looking forward to see the next. Great job!

Hi, lovely image, great photo. Like all the different shades of green and that sky is just beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful shot Melissa! I don't know how much planning went into this photo, but it is astounding. I love the way the colors seem to blend into each other so well and the lighting is perfect. Again, well done and I hope you sell many more!

Very beautiful photo you have here.

Very serene and calming.

This is indeed some Nevada beauty. This is not the usual scene one would associate with Nevada-dry desert, so this intriques me. I have spent years driving thru this state, obviously missing this part. I'm pleased you provided the piece of the missing puzzle, and quite expertly I might add.

Definitely not the scene that pops to mind when Nevada is mentioned. Obviously, I should spend less time in Reno and LV, and more time away from the glitter of city lights. Nice composition and excellent use of all the greens. That is certainly something I have not seen in NV. Kudos!
