When the mountain takes fire

Posted by EYE4photo (Hamar, Norway) on 6 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Autumn in the mountains can provide some amazing colors. I have tried to capture some of this in the picture ...
The geography in Fulufjellet is dominated by lichen, bare mountains, and valleys with dense ancient forest. The heaths of brush, grass and lichens are unique in the Norwegian mountain range, a result of the absence of grazing reindeers.
Animal wise the park is a notable location for several species of birds. The bold Siberian Jay is the park's symbol.

Notable sights include the ereas largest waterfall, Njupeskär, with a total height of 93 meters, and a free fall of 70.

Beautiful colors and composition. However, it might be just me, but there is a weird blur-unblur effect within the image, around the center, is that a result of HDR treatment, or intended?

@zahai: There was much wind that day, therefore it has become blurred in the middle ..

Thank you for the constructive feedback :-))
