Beautiful image. Love the way the trail draws you into the image and the layers of the various mountain peaks in the distance.

It's great but it looks like the quality suffered after compressing

intriguing comment, you might be right. I suppose it also depends on which medium the picture is viewed on, I might have optimised this for a 4K 27" with slightly higher pixel density, which inexorably might look a bit more pixelated - this is just a guess - happy to receive other views.


I thank you nonetheless for making me aware of this.

Thank you Rondec - Yes, it was the trail that drew me to click this picture. I have to then find a suitable subject/object for anchoring the image in the foreground, which thankfully was just there. It was almost too good to be true from a photography point of view.

Another wonderful image from the Dolomites. I spent two weeks climbing there in 1973. It's a place I always intended to return to but that seems unlikely now. Thanks for posting.

1973 ! wow, that's a long time ago. Would be good to hear your story from that time. Actually there are roads that go practically eveywhere and there is no need for a hike, if you cant. The Italien govt seem to have made it easy for practically anyone to visit and appreciate the Dolomites. Glad you like the image and I wish you get a chance to visit the place again. This one is on my must visit again list as well.

Excellent composition. The color contrast is very pleasing , with the brush of yellow cracking the tonal sequence. I think the vertical frame works perfectly. There are multiple things to look at, all blended nicely. Very interesting shot.

Thanks Michall - your thoughtful comment is appreciated. I usually don't do vertical landscapes, but I gave myself a challage to do so, glad you liked it.

Nice work, Great composition ! Did you have a lot of post processing to obtain that shot ?

Thanks vinbenito, glad you like it. Postprocessing yes - but not much actually - some basic stuff and a few detail highlights. I use Darktable to finalise the picture, there is no heavy image manipulation involved - no extra elements added nor removed. ie., no cloud replacements, object additions, removal etc.

Nice capture. Looks to me like a bit too much clarity or dehaze in post. Love the scene though.

thanks for the comment, I'll look into that - somehow in the low-res version, things get a bit wonky

Very nice composition, I like how the path and the folds of the valley lead my eye deeper into it.

This is a nice image but I think you have a bit too much foreground. I would crop it where the path starts. Also, I think the most interesting part is the light falling on the trees at the middle right. I would have emphasised that more. And the sky...
