Tatra is a pretty popular spot for photographers (and with no doubt very much worth the attention), yet what we see here shows a new and refreshing side of it.

Highly saturated colours combined with deliberate underexposure and quite original composition due to square framing - all this adds to the abstract and expressive feeling of this shot. While each of these techniques, when used separately, could spoil the picture, all of them together create an individual style.

In my opinion the best from the whole series, mostly thanks to how it emphasizes the light emerging from the valley. I like the dark tones and the vignette, and the overall sharpness.

On the other side, maybe it would be better to crop off some of the blackness on the right side. Just an idea, maybe worth considering.
