A fine night work Nicolas.
I like the sky and composition here. Processing is an individual matter;)

Nicolas Marino Thanks a lot paralaxa. There was not much processing here, only contrast and brightness and a bit of structure.

paralaxa Yeah I know. I am pleased to read the tutorial. I meant "way of processing". I'm not saying you did it wrong:) Quite against! I love your picture:) Everyone has a favorite track:) My regards.

Reggy 5 months ago

Wow, I would not recognize this as a picture from your hand. So I think you have many qualities :-))
Your title is so wel chosen. I always wonder about all those stars. I think that they are all different suns, surrounded by their own solar systems. So, I'm sure there is other life up there .......it must be :-)))

Nicolas Marino heheh I get most of my landscapes rejected Reggy, that's why you can't recognize my landscape work, but I do shoot a lot of them :)
I look at the stars and I wonder the same things my friend! That was a truly moving moment :)

Reggy I have the same problem with my Iceland-landscapes :-((

Very well done, Nico! Stars and clouds and reflection and the skull in the foreground... Wow! I am in awe. Would love to see this BIG! And the EXIF, please ;-)

Nicolas Marino Thanks a lot Fred! :)

Björn Billing 5 months ago

Amazing picture with a dreamy feeling! Would be interesting to know where it's taken.

Frédéric Verhelst (Papafrezzo) it says: Location "Kyering tso - Amdo - Tibet", I presume on one of Nico's adventures

Björn Billing Ah yes it does! Careless of me to miss that. I'll look it up on google earth =)

Nicolas Marino Thanks a lot Björn! I'm glad you like it. If you have trouble finding these two lakes and want to know where they are, send me an email. Because I use Tibetan names for everything but the information will most likely be in Chinese. and these two lakes are very off the beaten track, they are not easy to find.

Andre du Plessis 5 months ago

What a scene! This is simply spectacular Nicolas - and I'm sure that this image will be viewed and appreciated in ample forums. Keen to know a bit more about your EXIF on this landscape.

Nicolas Marino Thanks a lot Andre! That place was truly special and spectacular. It was one of those times where I felt I was lucky to be alive :)

keller 5 months ago

fine with the skull and a very nice cloud you've caught here at night looks good
however, would just have straightened the horizon slightly up

Nicolas Marino THanks lot Keller!

Kim Ayres 5 months ago
