It's hard to believe that someones built a path up there on the first image.

The light is a bit hard (mainly on the 3 first), but I like very much these 6 compositions of this splendid landscape ..... congrats

These are part of a series where I applied a somewhat graphic post-processing technique called "highlight bloom and photoillustration" so you are right: the light seems quite hard but that is intentional in this case. I'll post a couple of pre/post examples. It certainly won't be to everyone's liking but I still hope it pleases some. Not offended in the least if anyone would judge this "photo art" rather than photography and not liking it at all is absolutely acceptable!

I think you did a beautiful job processing these landscapes. It can be quite challenging to shoot a landscape in the bright sunshine and mostly without cloud cover. Combined with the excellent compositions you did pull it off.

Cool, I was wondering what technique you were using. It works very well here!
