The Valley of the Moon is at its eeriest at sunset, while under a full moon the beams reflecting off the salt crystals of the region make it a truly spectacular sight.

Hi Els
Wow, what a fabulous sunset! This is the kind of photo you really have to display at maximum quality possible. You have uploaded such a small version of your file (500x332 pixels at 73.2kb) so I can only ask, WHY? You are allowed to upload to maximum 800x800 pixels at 200kb. My advice to you is, "Make use of it and flaunt your good work".
Your composition is very good. The black foreground is on the 1/3 axis leaving ample space for the lovely V-shaped clouds. The lines of the horizon and the clouds are a great contrast enhancing one another. The colours are brilliant and well saturated and the exposure was spot on. The DOF (depth of field) is great and the focus is sharp to infinity. The two people on top of the hill provide a great sense of scale.
Very good work and TFS.
Regards
Loot

Hi Els
I just have to agree with loot !
Everything in your photo is very good, as the composition, DOF,POV and so on, even scale thanks to the person in the hill.
If you can putit on the TE,TL,TN in a bigger size.
Well done,
Taba
