Blake I like the way you have caught the cloud leading back to the snow-covered mountain in the background. It creates a triangle with the mountainous horizon.
Hi Blake. I experimented with your image by lightening the dark areas in the foreground. In doing so, a lot more details became visible and I thought made for a better image.
Hi Blake,
It's a very nice panoramic image.
Yes, Blake, the entire foreground is dark on my monitor. I can see some detail, but need to strain to see them. Perhaps you have your monitor set much brighter than I keep mine. I calibrated mine with a Spyder 4, but admittedly, if we both did the same, the results may look a bit different.
Hi, Blake. The foreground looks a bit dark to me too on a calibrated screen. Also you may experiment with cropping a bit off either top or bottom to move the horizon off center. IMO the sky is rather bland and cropping a bit to move the snow covered peak into the upper left portion of the frame may be interesting.
Photo critique aside, it looks like a lovely area.
I'm working with this photo some more. My screen is calibrated as well, maybe it's just that I like the dark tones. I'll experiment and post a revision in a little bit.
I like the repost better. There are times when leaving or enhancing the dark tones works well, but IMO this image needs the shadows revealed.
