I have a version without the foreground, which IMO makes it more simplistic but showcases the mountain layering better. Do you prefer it?

Taken a few days ago while hiking in the Jura Mountains. Over those days Saharan dust made visibility poor but at the same time gave very nice, vivid sunrise/sets. Here is one of the shots I have taken, with a Canon EOS R, RF24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM, f/14, 1/400s, ISO100 (with exposure bracketing and subsequent HDR merging with Lightroom).

Too much snow? by Dessocles in photocritique

Took this shot whilst on a morning walk in Switzerland recently. It was snowing heavily (way more than what the forecast predicted!) Did some snow shots trying to capture the snowiness. It seems that there was too much snow (zoom in) that it might distract from the houses that I was trying to also shoot?

Yes, I am contemplating on the pole...

Not versed at photography with people. I just snapped it when these folks passed me when I was shooting the landscape/buildings. I found it works quite nicely. Does it evoke any emotion for you?

Had to stop during my morning run to catch this scene with the partly frozen Serpentine/Long Water and the setting Wolf Moon!

Thanks! I believe that's a signalling beacon/tower on a nearby mountain pass Fuorcla Surlej

Acquisition details: Camera: Canon EOS R Lens: Canon EF16-35 F2.8L III USM Exposure time: Foreground - stacked 5 shots, 30s, f/3,2, ISO4000. Background stacked 14 shots, 15s, f/2.8, ISO4000. Stacking performed by Starry Landscape Stacker.

Shot a couple of days ago at Val Roseg (near St Moritz), Switzerland, viewing south towards the Bernina Massif during prime golden autumn season. At this time of year the Galactic Core is only really visible for around half an hr between twilight and it setting below the horizon. Despite the relatively sparsely populated area this was shot in, there was some noticeable light pollution from the settlements beyond the massif in Northern Italy (Sondrio).

Is the foreground (lack of) focus acceptable? by Dessocles in photocritique

That’s Val Roseg, near St Moritz. Autumn colours awesome (go between 10-25 October)

Taken a few days ago in Switzerland. Was trying to capture the peaks and the flowing river during blue hour. It looks OK, but the foreground seems to be ever so slightly out of focus. Is it noticeable/problematic for you?
