Ben, I like the image but I think if you crop just a little more to get the dark shadow out of the lower corners especially the lower left would help it quite a bit. You have such wonderful locations to shoot out there.

No apologies necessary.

Very, very nice Ben. The winter snow will be a memory soon, but the snow remnants add an interesting touch. I also love the way the shadows lay on the mountain, with the greenery below, contrasting with the dynamic blue sky. Maybe a black and white conversion also?

Thanks Steve. Here is a B&W conversion, I used NIK silver exf pro, but could not find any presets that handled the sky well. This is the best I could find.

Hey Ben, a suggestion is to crop the B&W just below the top of the mountain, leaving a little slice of sky on the top right. That would focus our eye on the mountain rather moving to the empty sky. Not at my computer so sorry I can't presently illustrate.

I do not presume to offer technical advice or suggestions for change as there are those here much more qualified than I to do so.

I would say, however, that this is a classic geological textbook image showing the result of tectonic movement throughout eons, the KT boundary, stratification and folding as well as wind and water erosion.

Rick, you are a wealth of knowledge

Ben,

Just because the sky isn't playing ball doesn't mean that you don't have a lot of goodness to work with.

Maybe go a little outside the box on this one and play with the great lines, tones and textures in play?

Thanks Jeff. In the color version, I thought the pure blue sky played well with the reddish brown sunset colors on the terrain. But you are correct for the monochrome conversion.

Hope you don't mind a bit of play, Ben.
