Gentle and beautiful image.

I agree though part of me wishes that bit of rocky formation in the foreground wasn't there as it tends to disrupt the tonal harmony.

A very fine shot, Hans, rocks or no rocks.

Thanks everyone for the comments :) Regarding the rocks I was considering for a while if I should have removed them, but I felt I was loosing something I liked in that area of the image. I think it balances the composition by having the rocks there. They are not too obvious so that your eyes are dragged there all the time, I think, so it gives a layering that I liked. They had to be there to include the trees.

Very nice and not bothered by the rock formation at all. The depth is fantastic and the light gorgeous.
Bravo.
