Hello David,
This is a pleasant composition, with strong foreground interest!
The diagonal slope directs my eyes to the vast plains, I also notice the dark clouds above...
Good colours and fine details!
Greetings,

I like the compo you used here, David. Light, sharpness and DoF, technically a good shot. But sceneries like this always make me think "why no panoramic view here?"... Really, you should give it a go. Pack a tripod, camera on manual (every setting!), level out the tripod and take a couple of shots, overlapping about 25 % - 33 %. Then stitch them together and voilą, a new world will open up ;o).
Anyway, it's nice to look at as it is presented here too.

David .. this comes close to my imagination how our planet has looked like at the time of 'creation'
Do we not beleave in that.. to say it in Darwins words and we go back intime a few million years..
What ever we think.. its a pitty to see this on such small TL size!
Excellent shot!
Regards

John
