This is much better Usman. By the way, it's best to attach the corrected image to the thread instead of posting it as a new image.You'll notice below where we enter comments there is a box marked "select" with a down arrow. Click on the down arrow and select how many images you want to add to the thread and then click "submit" it will bring up a dialog to allow you to select the image. #1525165

I tried but it won't let me attach, it just gives me an option of re-uploading the image.UB. #10663834

Well done Usman. I really like your B&W edit. #10664218Michael Kelly April 23, 2013
I like the edit a lot. Just what the wonderful shot needed. A breathtaking vista. Were you actually as high or higher than the 16000 feet? It looks like you are shooting level or even a little down. Did you have to climb to get there? #10664340Beth Spencer April 23, 2013
Great edit! Where were you at to take this? #10664371Rita K. Connell April 23, 2013
what a incredible view. I really like your edit. the sky is perfect feeling a little angry. great job.Usman not sure but I think you uploaded your edit picture like you did on your original post. but when you do an edit and want to post it to the thread don't upload it first. hit select choose a number / submit / then select the browse button then you can select your computer and upload from there. the one on the far right is when you are selecting from your edit or gallery photo's. which can only be done if your have entered the contest for the day. hope this helped #10665082

Thanks everyone. I'll try to follow your guideline in future.I was standing at the top of another flat mountain with lush green meadow about 10,500 ft above sea-level. And we went up there by jeep (4X4) on a dirt track through the pine forest. It was a great feeling to see such magnificent and awe-inspiring natural beauty all around.

That's why I'm an outdoor photographer. It is wonderful being up high like that and looking out across those expansive vistas. #10666247lisa anderson May 01, 2013
