Photo of the Year 2008: Temple Of Clouds

[Mory]

After climbing for 5 hours I got to see this scenery.
I'm not sure about foreground.Maybe that rock in left is annoying.What do you think?
I like the curvature form made by foreground.

Sigma SD10, 10-20 mm lens @10 mm FL, 1 s shutter speed, F/22.
Mazichal hill, Kelardasht town, Iran.

wow, after danekpavel's amazing landscape there is this offering, truly stunning!, this is what landscape photography is all about, congrats for sure!

[danekpavel]

Very nice! I love the green in foreground. Just a nit — it seems a little soft to me, maybe it's due to JPEG compression which is quite strong.

AMAZING!
I would climb more than 5 hours for this picture;)
I have never seen any nature picture taken by sigma camera. Positive impression!

Congratulation and have similar lights!
