Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom

Lovely landscape photo Margie!
(I think it would benefit greatly from a small crop across the bottom of the photo to take out that piece of handrail)

@Ian Bramham: Yeah I did crop it out at first but in some weird way (to my eye anyway!) it kind of flattened the picture. Thanks for the comment Ian!

Scotfot from Kabul, Afghanistan

Great landscape... looks like Scotland... especially the clouds! I think the handrail adds a bit of balance

@Scotfot: The only time I went to Scotland (Edinburgh for a weekend) I was too busy trying to keep warm to look up at the skies.
:)
I'd love to go back though! Thanks for the comment and visit.

Anthony Lambert from Germany

Nicely framed,great view.I think a bit more of the fence/railing would not have been bad though.Tastes differ.

@Anthony Lambert: Thanks Anthony. Yes, as I was fiddling (crop...uncrop...crop...) I wished I'd got more of the railing in the frame!

João Mourão from Amadora, Portugal

If you could only turn this amazing picture into a HDR one... o my god. Excellent work

Again, a classic composition which rests so easy on the eye. Love the lushness of this.
