One of many landscape shots I took this past weekend. Had this been advanced I would have been tempted to do some dodging but I kinda like it this way as this was pretty much the way I saw it at the time.

Post Challenge Thanks to the folks who thought this should have scored higher. I kinda agree but also realize that while there is detail in the shadows, some would see this scene as somewhat dark and underexposed.
All things considered I would say that I handled the exposure pretty well in that I do have detail in the shadows without blowing out the highlights.
Aside from that? I am just happy some people saw the serenity in the scene which is what I remember for that evening.
