I like the star burst and the layers of mountains at the background. Including the trees and vegetation in the foreground adds dimension to the photo. A lovely image.   Posted: 10/10/2021 09:13:19



 
I do not see how any changes can be made. It's a lovely scene. Fantastic sky and sun! The only tiny thing that might be done is remove whatever that is half-way up on the left-- a lighter, vertical structure (?) near what looks like water. Beautiful image!   Posted: 10/10/2021 15:21:41

Great image. The only suggestion I have is you could possibly add some more color around the sun area.   Posted: 10/13/2021 09:58:20

The sunburst is a high point of the picture, but not the only one. I especially like the layers of mountains and the trees in the foreground providing for depth of space. The clouds are magnificent, and you cleverly framed the image with the tall tree on the right. Congratulations!   Posted: 10/13/2021 17:32:16

Thanks for all the favorable comments. Its not always easy to know what to include and what to leave out.   Posted: 10/14/2021 13:13:16

I like the sunstar and the layering of the mountains. I do agree with Bob to add some more color around the sun, so you get a more balanced image (not only blues but also more warmer tones)   Posted: 10/19/2021 06:21:28

I have saturated the colors around the sun as suggested by Bob and Anges. I agree that it gives the picture more punch.
