Alex,
agree with Linda that it is much more alive than the photo.

Another good thing is that it illustrate how you experienced the landscape when you were out there in 3D.

I have often realized how hard it can be to make a good landscape reference photo. Landscape lines are often more straight than we think they are when moving around in the nature. Even when painting on location we tend to emphasize interesting parts of the motif, like you did, and subdue others to get the "right" expression.

A suggestive comparizon is the lack of freedom most of us experience when painting from a photo.

Allan
