Such a gorgeous view. Seems like it couldn't possibly be real. It is beyond paradise.

It's such a beautiful but somewhat threatening view. I wouldn't like to live so near a volcano :-)

Beautiful rich colors and a very dynamic composition with the shape of the tree in the foreground echoing the shape of Vesuvio in the distance.

This reminds me of that tree in My Sassy Girl (if you've seen the movie). Interesting foreground to Vesuvius. :)

I truly Love this capture. The clouds really draws my attention to the Horizon where the Volcano rests. Your framing of this shot is simply wonderful!!

PERFECT IMAGE. Vesuvio is so threatening, brooding, the light and cloud make it so. Naples is lit, exposing the residents to the ever present threat! Great colors and DRAMA!

le Vésuve..avec son panache de fumée ou les nuages, on se croirait revenu au temps de Pompéi et de l'éruption fatale....quelle image riche en couleurs violentes comme pour une mise en scène de film.

Magnifique, une photo qui rend honneur à ce volcan et au paysage. Une composition parfaite qui permet d'avoir de la profondeur, des couleurs variées avec une déclinaison tout en douceur (sûrement un HDR parfaitement maîtrisé) et un ciel avec exactement le petit nuage au-dessus du Vésuve pour démontrer toute la force du volcan Bravo et encore une fois magnifique ;)
