classic of my lands. Nice shot

Lovely image, well executed. As far as feedback, I'd personally remove the little highlight just to the right of the house, but otherwise remarkable.

I really like what you did. Print it.

As someone else pointed out, there's a bright object near the center reflecting light. Tone that down before printing.

Possible dust spot at the top edge. It's near the upper-right around 1/10 of the way towards the upper-left corner. It's subtle and is easier to detect while scrolling vertically.

Really beautiful landscape! Is it a telephoto image? The Bigma offers so much versatility

Exif says its 93mm, so something like 140 for full frame, not realy big telephoto as for Bigma.
But yes, it's my favorite lens because of this versality. You can go realy tele (sharp enough till ~350-400mm) and you can go standard 50mm.

I think it's beautiful and can't see how you could improve on it (perhaps printing would require adjustments as mentioned, but for online viewing this is perfect). The scene, composition and processing are wonderful. It also happens that I have been preferring the telephoto look for landscapes, it's very flattering for everything, really. It makes people fall in love with the scene and that's reflected in the responses so far

Well timed and shot! I like the low hanging fog / cloud very much.

I think you have made this photo what you wanted it to be and its good. Everyone has their own vision and if I was PP I would probably try but a bit of clarity on the foreground but I'm not sure if it would work or not.

Very nice shot. Getting the “layered” look just right can be a challenge to exposure, and of course the light has to be right for it to work well. I wouldn’t fault your composition.

Totally agree! Mine was sharp enough even at 500 if you stopped it down by one stop to f9. I had left for many of my photographic trips with a small bag and the bigma on my K-5IIs as I knew I could photograph anything and even macro/close ups at 200 to 300mm! Great all around lens!

Beautiful shot, it's almost monochrome in this presentation.

I'd like to see how it looks as a Cyanotype or split toned, as the potential is there for many more great versions too.
