Very dramatic high impact shot along with a great composition. Nice capture, technically perfect. TFS, Sam.

A great view well composed Martin.
I can be wrong, but the picture seems a bit over-sharp...?
That could be caused by the dramatic and strong light, but I guess it's been processed a bit.
In the clouds something like grain could be detected, when I looked closer, it looked like jpeg-compressio-disturbance. Neat Image or similar does a great job in these situations to get a smoother result.
I love the view !

Looks like a storm. Amazing blue in the sky.
I like the lonely tree very vulnerable against the elements of nature. Great shot.

Good moody landscape shot, though the sky looks grainy,I use Paint shop Pro and the salt and pepper filter would easily fix that.

The loneliness mood is great here,as well as the oblivation sense of this open sky space,the blue tone is amazing and capturing.

Hi Martin,

Very nice photo! I really feel sorry for the tree... :)
The solitude and the dark sky create a threatening atmosphere very well presented here.
Well done for your work and effort!
