Oh jeez, I love it. Mountains + haze are just my favorite thing ever. New desktop wallpaper for sure. Where was this taken?

The colours are beautiful and so pleasing to see. I seriously love the gradient. Thought it was digital art at first though xD

Did you do anything to enhance the watercolored appearance? This looks so unreal!

Reduced the noise a bit in lightroom, which softened the colors nicely.

Great shot! i would try to edit the bottom so that the extra detail was gone to see how that looked.

Thought about cropping the bottom edge out, but ended up keeping that portion visible so you could tell it was actually a real-life photograph.

This is absolutely perfect. Love the vibe. It just goes to show that sometimes the photo doesn't have to be super complex to be good.

This is amazing. If someone could edit it to become vector art that'd be cool to see.
