On this ridge I ran into an Australian couple who was on a west of the Mississippi road trip starting in Chicago and ending in San Francisco. It was a pleasure to meet and chat with them as we waited on the ridge

The image as presented is way too large for the internet, at least for this forum. The main issue is the darkness. On my monitor most of the image is almost totally black. I have included a version that is considerably brighter.

I am not sure the b&w works well for this image. I would guess the original color version probably did indeed appear sun kissed.

@camperjim - thank you for your input, I was trying to push the shadows and just 'showcase' the sliver of sun along the face of the ridge, yet showing some details in the shadows

I've also linked to a smaller sized image, so it's now 12**px on the long edge

I think the first variant looked better. The second one look burned.

Lots of folks won't like the broad range of light/dark, but I think your first effort is striking. Not sure what wall one would put it on.

You do make a point as to the wall it would hang on. I didn’t think of this one being a wall hanger in particular but have used it as a wallpaper on my screens

IMO Kent's rework walks the line between OP and Jim's rework perfectly.

It allows for enough detail to be pulled from the nearly blocked blacks without changing the primary focus of the light kissing the rock face.

NOW I'm feeling this one a lot more.

Like Rustybug's edit a good deal more.
Original photo just too dark and lacked the pop that the above edit has.

Overall still an expansive area without much going on to pick up the couple of nicely lit portions so still a bit of a mixed bag for me with parts I really like and others than are less appealing.

Yes, Kent's rework does it
Preserves much of the original mood, IMO, while providing more interest and detail in the shadows
and more printable
I am fine with it as a monochrome
