This is great. I disagree with those who say there is posterization: Using a 2490wuxi calibrated with i1D2 it is perfect. You may want to take a look @ your monitor first :)

Great composition, but it could be slightly more contrasty. Also, there is a bit of distracting posterization in the sky (esp. upper right corner).

Wow. Are you kidding ? This is one of the best images on this web site.

I love this shot! If I had one criticism it would be that the black point needs to be shifted as the HDR effect has cut the contrast. I adjusted the curves in PS, now it may be a while before I change wallpapers!

The obvious gradient in the sky is distracting.

Tony, I found the grass in the foreground lacked something. I isolated it and monkeyed around with the shadow/highlight control in PS3 and gave the midtone contrast a little boost. I found it balanced the image a little better. Great shot @MasterChief!

I'm not so keen. The setting is magnificent but the HDR, again, takes away from the naturalness of the picture. I guess I'm in a minority about the attraction of HDR. :( Can we see a non-HDR version anywhere ?

jaw-dropping beauty, like something out of a fantasy novel.

I've got to admit that my initial reaction was: "Oh great, another sunset." Then I downloaded and it and did a complete 180. This is beautiful. It's earned a place in my wallpaper turnstile.

Awesome shot. Definitely one for my desktop wallpaper. Thanks!

I love it. Thanks for sharing. Right to the desktop!

I agree. For once we have an example of HDR where the image manipulation isn't obvious and the results aren't artificial. Rare indeed. Keep up the good work.

Am I the only one begging to differ? While it is indeed a very good picture, it does not stun me as other recently added do. Many have argued that HDR is not particularly fit to landscapes, I think this opinion has merit, as HDR brings odd unnatural feelings in a nature setting. Not impossible, but trickier than a urban landscape for example.

Very nice - straight into the wallpaper folder. If I have a slight criticism it that the saturation of the grass in the foreground is slightly (only slightly!) over saturated, but that's certainly not enough to stop me loving the picture. 9 stars out of 10 :)

OhlinO, actually i live in madeira island, so its easy to get to that mountain. Next Monday i will do a hike between Areeiro and Ruivo (highest mountains in the island). Thanks!
