I saw that shot and first thing that came to mind was "trail to Mordor".

Fine shot!

Funny, the first thought I had was that it is very reminiscent of 19th-century painters of the American West. The quality of the light especially harkens back to that artistic style.

It's a beautiful shot.

Amazing and Painterly and Amazing and Well Done ... and you had best print this wall sized and toss it up in your living room. Great light quality, great capture. What lens and camera? How much did you do in post?

I showed this to people at work. And they all agree it's a very good picture. Should make sure this is copyrighted and put it up for sale!

Sublime!

I imagine this is what landscapes will look like on Mars some day. Less the trees, of course. It goes beyond "great shot." Its a really nice piece of art!

Thank you Limr. The scene was reminiscent of 19th century paintings and so I went with that. I added to the drama where I could all the while trying not to go overboard with it. I'm glad that came through.

Thank you Gary. In post I did swap the sky as the original was more of a blob than clouds. Then most of what I did was dodging and burning. I tried to keep the colors as true as possible, there was a lot of smoke in the air from forest fires that cast an orange light on the scene.
