Thank you very very much for the explanation, Yazeed! I was too slow in mind again!
But now I understand what you mean. Yes, the grass without trees at the right is something important for me too on this one!
Cheers!
Nick

Thanks a lot again, Dave!
Indeed the contrast that such regions offer seems to be unbeatable. I am only glad if it was somehow captured well.

I seem to have been committed mis-truth.
I mean an area free of trees and on the right hand.
Had given a wonderful aesthetic.
Feeling toward this work is very intimate .
I am sorry .

Thank you so much for such a nice comment and such a generous rating, Yazeed!
What do you mean with "table" at the left? Sorry, Yazeed, I didn't understand that.
Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the nice and detailed comment, Burim!
The train was indeed moving but to my luck it can't develop a very high speed up there, since at that place the gear is activated because of the very steep slope. So one can really open the window and try some shots. (Be careful of the trees! ;-))
I also think that exaggerated color saturation misses completely the point. Much like eating stronger and stronger chemically flavored strawberry joghurt, which at the end makes one incapable to perceive any taste from natural strawberries. Such oversaturated images are like a world on steroids. It's really funny to me, to "like" an image with some impossible blue heaven but not the real heaven as it is in some place. I think the digital possibilities did contributed to a certain amount to that kind of disneyland images. ;-)
Small tip for a usual mistake that many many people do when it comes to landscapes. It is supported by the photographic industry that sells zooms as a good mean for camouflaging the shortcomings of the camera/lens system together with higher sensitivities, but the grandiosity of a landscape is definitely not matter of zooming close to some detail. It's like isolating the parts of a single instrument from an orchestra and expecting to hear the symphony. ;-) So when it comes to landscapes, take a wider angle lens and go for hyperfocal focusing. Unfortunately the latter is made almost impossible as it has been sacrificed on the alter of "easy photography" and autofocus, which is ideal for devastating any landscape. I am only glad that my old FD-lenses have the marks that allow for hyperfocal focusing by the turn of the focus ring.

Thanks again and cheers!

Nada que objetar aquí, es una foto muy agradable a la vista, nítida y luminosa, correcta desde todo punto de vista según mi gusto.
Un abrazo!

Is a wonderful feeling, which gives this picture and this scene. Rightly remained threatened by and for a long time and I felt great happiness.
Free space with table on the left of the formation of a staggering . 7/7 .

WOW, you get people that go to places like this and still don't manage to get a shot like you got in here from a moving train.
This is so perfect, the compo, tones, details, light...absolutely everything.
I am glad that you did not saturate this shot but rather decided the real colors to come to life.
To my opinion this is what makes this shot so special and different from others.
All that I can say is congrats on another great shot from you Nick.
Best regards
Burim
