I think this one is my favorite:

Or maybe this one:

Hmmm. Actually I like this a lot too:

The joys of Fuji Velvia colour slide film. Nothing beats it for taking surreal landscape photos.

My jaw is starting to ache. That's some real purty pictures.

The color is absolutely amazing.

Makes me want to go on a trip.

The middle one looks great the way the hills fade into the background. Very nice.

Do you happen to have larger versions of those available? They would be most excellent as wallpaper. Also, who is that in your av, Bertie? Looks like a girl I tried to date once (before learning she had a boyfriend.)

I love this one although the middle one from the OP is my favorite.

Maybe it's the same girl.

It's a cropped photograph of porn-star Jenna Jameson done by renowned photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders. It's from his book XXX 30 Porn-Star Portraits. link

It is. No, it honestly, seriously is. Szechuan has some exceptional sights if you drive up to the mountains. Plus I remember seeing much the same thing as the last pic in Vietnam too and it was jaw dropping. There's of course a large amount of photographic tricky in those photos but it captures the essence of it very well - I'll post some normal, unedited photos should I ever finish this essay.

Ah, here they are:

Not that I'm much of a photographer or anything, but I haven't touched these in Photoshop.

The photographer who took those is a fucking artist with both his camera and in postproduction.
No matter how much I try (and digicams are great to practice with) I can't seem to get it down.
