*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

My first impressions are of a lovely landscape that meets the challenge but with a lot of overexposure

Air is quite a difficult concept to portray but I think you have been successful with this delightful landscape and, to help the viewer, in your title too. It looks like mono but I see traces of colour in it so I assume it has not been converted to mono but either way it is still very effective. I like the composition and the range of tones throughout

The one thing that really lets this image down is the extensive over-exposure in both the sea and the sky. Unfortunately once you have overexposure the detail is gone for good there is nothing you can do to get it back so its best avoided with some minus exposure compensation. I think you would have been better to combine at least a couple of exposures together one for the highlights and the other for the shadows and you would have got a better end result.

Is that a boat on the water? Its position next to the background landscape makes it difficult to determine. If it is a boat I think it would have worked really well to have paced it in the overexposed part of the water, by either waiting if it was in motion or through choice of your position, where it would have been clearly defined as a silhouette.

It looks a beautiful location, I look forward to more lovely landscapes from you. Sid

There is a giant bird in your photo, flying above the mountains. This is a really splendid landscape.
