Silent Sentinels at Sunset

Had to go to Brisbane for a couple of days during Easter and decided to time the Sunday drive home so I could get a sunset shot of the Glasshouse Mountains from Wild Horse Mountain Lookout.

As everything was closed in Brisbane we whiled the time away with a movie and then a leisurely yum cha in the Valley.

Followed up with a container of flavoured milk from the BP and, not having walked up the track to the lookout before, found I was very unfit and struggling to get up there.

Anyway, I digress, here's one of the pics.

Comments welcome

lol, that will never help in a bushwalk :)

I love the way the sunlight 'spills' around teh peaks, that really makes this image :up:

I would consider cropping the bottom to remove some of the trees, they appear to be plantations which dont really rock my world in a scene like this.

No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.

The dynamic range on this is amazing!

How many filters have you stacked for this? Or is this just one reverse ND grad (ND8 I assume)?
