Amazing landscape image Clifford. Dramatic sky with great lighting and colour overall. Very nicely composed capturing so many interesting elements.

I love the light, with sun and shadow, as well as the depth of field and composition. Great job, Clifford.

Perfect angle in this beautiful shot Clifford. The Castle stands out so well here glowing in the sunlight against that brooding sky and the background peaks. The leaning trees in the foreground tell a story too about the challenges they must have in coping with the river and the elements. An interesting and excellent capture of this unique and very beautiful mountain.

Like that one very much Clifford. Great POV with lighting and shadows well composed. Appreciate the orange colour of the mountain and the nice little blue spot in the sky.
