I saw examples of photographer 
Jay Patel's work on another blog& instantly loved it. His landscapes make great use of color and light to make his images more dramatic and stand out. Here is just a sample of his work.

 Great use of light in the images above & below. really highlights the scene.


 Love the clouds in this- both in the sky& water reflection. beautiful coloring.


 I love the long exposure on this one to make the water look foggy- totally different mood and feeling to the image because of this but it's still beautiful. It's soft and relaxing.
