Super browns, greens and greys, Seok, really work well to depict great distance. Pleasing composition as well.

Don't know about ALMATY, but this is an almighty painting. You have really captured the vastness of the landscape. Brilliant.

A super looking painting. I like the addition of figures to give it scale. There is an oblong shape on the top right rock face, is that a shadow or is it a natural hollow?

I love this picture, Seok. You have got a very complicated tricky scene to look calm and beautiful.

Absolutely fantastic Seok! How you have kept the very difficult landscape together is marvellous. The distance, the depth, various heights, colours.... Everything works!!!
