Description

This Photo is dedicated to Ohce...Echo...Lee...whose "Beauty of the Mountains"...has moved me and inspired me to look also for the beauty of the mountains of my country.....El Salvador.

The subject...."Devil's Gate"....this place is like a big abrup cut in the mountains....from here there are many lovely views...this is just one of them.....The place is linked to many legends and rumors...they try to change the name to "Angel's Gate"...but all the people still call it "Devil's Gate"....The volcano at the background is Chichontepec Volcano....is not active...but an earthquake 4 years ago caused great damage to the city that is behind the volcano...Chichontepec means in Nahuat....."two breasts"...

Ohce...I hope you like it...

Beatiful shot. Only crit is that I'd like to see the trees more green. Perhaps the haze of the day has dulled them a little.

Great work Carlos! You have composed this so well. I want to be on those stairs!
I love scenery shots where something is in the foreground. To me, it adds so much interest to a landscape shot if done tastefully. You have done it tastefully!
My only crit ... the yellow grasses on the left side along the stairs seem over saturated.

Great work nevertheless.

Whoa, although the whole pic seems a bit over-satuated (the greens in the front are too dark to be that satuated) you got a damn great feeling here, except to the satuation, I have nothing to crit.

The contrasting distance and nearness of the mountains is excellent. I love the color differences and those stairs; I just have to go see what’s up there!
