Misty mountains in Laos

On my way from Luang Prabang (Laos) to the capital Vientiane. Taken from the bus try to catch some pictures from the almost mysterious landscape. The weather was not too bad, although the light was poor. The low clouds were swirling around the mountain tops.

PP-work:
Shot in JPEG, adjusted brightness, contrast and saturation, used clone tool to remove electrical power lines. Add some clouds in a OE area with clone tool. Resizes and sharpened. Add frame.

Hello Hans,

I like very much this composition, the colours and the mist over the mountains, but I'm not so sure about PP in the OE zone, on my screen appears a mix of rosa and grey, a bit unnatural. TFS

Have a nice day,
Sorina

Hi Hans
Wonderful POV, superb colors, and a very good composition, I think this one is a great shot and a very good work.
About your clouds, I must agree wiht Sorina, the rosa color, perhaps a little overdone, but thats a matter of taste.
Regards
Jens.

Hiya Hansie

Beautiful scenic capture here, wonderful POV with good sharpness and detail.

On first glance i felt the clouds to be a touch OE.. But... I actually really like it that way. it gives a feeling of power and radiance and the tiny bit of blue sky in the corner works superbly too.

TFS kind regards Smurfie

Wonderful view.
Excellent sharpness and details.
Well seen
Piet

spectacular view:)

Hey Hans,
Deze schitterende groene kleur heb ik alléén dààr gezien! Heel fijn dat je ons hiervan weer laat genieten. Prachtige beeldopbouw en de wolken, die over de bergen heen rollen maken deze plaat àf!
Groet uit Renesse,
Adri

What a brilliant green scene - looks like they get plenty of rain up there Hans. We could do with a bot of that wet stuff down under right now. And this weekend looks like we're going to get it too.
It's a pleasant view - quite refreshiing

A nice view, Hans. Lovely scenery and it's not obvious that you shot this "on the move" through a window. I can't see where you cloned either, so you did a good, subtle job.
I see you adopted a new type of framing, well, you know my opinion about frames but still, I rather like this one.

Hi Hans,
Beautiful view with very nice greens and those clouds covering the mountains are simply amazing!

Glad to see you back here Hans...
Another lovely image of a far away country. A real great composition and I love the lush greens.. as usual.
However I do agree with Sorina. I'm not sure what has happend to the coulds, but the edges look a bit unnaturally pink to me...
But... other than that it's a very relaxing image.

Cheers,
Anneke

Hi Hans,
I think that you managed well with exposure with this difficult lightning. We can almost feel the humidity! I agree that this looks like a mysterious place with interesting mood. Well done and TFS,
Claudine

Hoi Hans,

Oeh, wat een groene explosie!! Heerlijk al die verschillende soorten groen hier. Prachtig. Ik weet dat je geen fan bent van zware post processing, maar misschien had ik nog wel een stukje van de lucht die over-exposed is gemasked. ;-) Maar lekker groen it is!

Groetjes,
Dennis

Wonderful Hans! Very well composed, lush colours and good detail. The clouds around the mountain peaks make this shot. TFS,
David

Hie Hans,

I've never thought I would be able to see a beautiful mountain from Laos. The misty look surrounding makes it cooling and relaxing nature.
