I shot this on a recent hike in Móskarðshnjúkar in Iceland. The weather was moody so I got a lot of great shots. (more here: //www.flickr.com/photos/elinias/sets/72157600095783549/ ) anyways, I haven't taken part in many challenges lately b/c of work. I'm gonna try and make up for that. Hope this won't plummet my score :)

Post processing involved curves, levels, cropping, high pass sharpening, blending modes etc etc... :) hey, this is expert editing. (But probably could have gotten similar results with advanced editing).

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Hi Karl,

A superb landscape vista. What I realy like is the sense depth in this shot - nice use of the wider-angle. The dappled patches of light on the plain do a ncie job of keeping the attention focused. In your notes you mention the moody weather. I really would have liked to see more evidence of this - especially in the texture of the clouds. It was expert editting after all so you could have put in soem nice dodging and burning to really emphasise this. Still, 6.2x with no 1s, 2s or 3s is a good outcome.

It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.

Cheers
Paul
