Hello FMers. The sky in this image is quite interesting, as are the rock formations in the distance. However, there are lots of hots spots and dark areas due to shooting towards the sun, water, and dense cloud that has breaks in them. How would you experienced landscape photographers approach such a scene? Given the results of the shot that you see below, anything you would do to improve the image?

From Vik, looking west towards Dyrholaey.

Thank you for your feedback and suggestions.

That might help take some of the glare off the water, but the biggest issue, I believe, is the spread between black and pure white. Need to compress that somehow. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, I probably should have tried that as an option. May have helped the bright bits some. Thanks for the suggestion.
