Nice one again. For me, it´s a pity that your HDR is a little bit strong...

as if an alien starship had landed and was taking in the view ... and gobbling up a few curious "natives" ;-)
(on a more serious note, however ... grandiose treatment and frame, as so often !!!)

You selected a great viewing angle for this shot. The HDR is a touch heavy but it works well to bring out so much detail everywhere. I like it.
