What does that have to do with this photo? So the wicked never get good photos? How are you defining who is righteous and who is wicked?
I am a avid admirer of your work Mark and think you have done a great job of processing the image but I find the 14mm a bit too wide for the shot. It flattens the landscape too much for my taste but maybe printed it may look fantastic.
Wow! A killer foreground with amazing clouds!! This is an example of my wife not getting it when you you need to keep going back to a location!!! I can't even count the number of times the clouds looked promising all afternoon - even an hour before sunset - only to have them disappear when the would have been blazing with colour!
A very unique combination of elements with the main feature here being the sky, which suddenly looks cut-off.
In my opinion, keeping the land the way it is and adding another 2-3 times of the sky would lift the picture visually into entire new category. The 14mm was very wide already but resorting to either 3 vertical or horizontal frames stitched together to make the final image portrait-oriented with the sky dominating the land could be the way to go in this case.
Thanks everyone for the great compliments and encouragement. It really means a lot to me. I'm glad you like the image. Even more glad my clients got great shots. Sorry it took this long to respond. I had a computer issue that required a new operating system drive and complete re install (to a solid state drive - which rocks!) so I was dealing with that for a few days... But I am officially back on the grid now, at least for a few weeks before I head out for more workshops...

Thank you Bruce! It's not a problem.
I will say that this looks (at least to me) pretty close to what I remember it looking like (except for scale). I don't think anything got flattened out. I did do a slight perspective blend (something I innovated but have yet to share) to get the right look on the bend. It may be too flat for some peoples taste, but at least to my eye, I think this may pretty faithfully represent the way it looks. In fact it looks a lot like a zoom to me.

Thank you,

Yes, I could see that. Thank you. Good idea. We may have to settle on my vertical version.
