Hello from the critique club

An interesting image that meets the challenge

This looks like an interesting scene caught during the ‘golden hour’ with a lovely sunset. Unfortunately, this is a classic example of the light controlling the exposure and underexposing important detail in your foreground. Some plus exposure compensation, at least a stop, would have rescued the foreground but at the expense of the sky but you could have merged the two together in PS to get the best of both exposures. Alternatively, if you only have the one exposure you can still do the same with two versions at different exposures within PS. Or you could select the foreground and dodge it back to lighten it up. Whichever method you choose to use the end result you need to aim for is more detail in the foreground, it is just too dark.

Thank you for your entry Gaylord.
