		So this afternoon I took this shot from a rooftop bar at happy hour:
 
  
 
 I was wondering what you all think that I could do better, because I know I can. It was really just a snapshot because I live about two blocks from this place. I am thinking of taking a similar shot, with a little bit more setup, to make for a print. I know I'm new to this, but I thought I would try out here for better ideas. I just did channel mixer greyscale conversion, dodging and burning and adjusted the contrast. Thanks for any help.

		Hello Ansel!
 
 I like the dramatic sky. A polarising filter might help to bring out more detail in the mountains. Not bad thou.

		Lovely shot. My only comment is that I would like to see more light on the hillside, or at least more detail - it's quite dark.
 
 Great job though.
