I've been spending today going through some of my unprocessed pics from the last year, and this one has me stumped. I really like the darkness of it, but is it too much?

Taken in August on my second trip home to NZ for the year :)

It may be to much Sheepie, but I like it. Very moody.

I really like the toning in this one
but I think it would improve if you trimmed half of the black area off the bottom as there is a little too much and it draws your eye down looking for some sort of detail
removing the dark area would also give the impression of a lighter overall photo without changing the tone of the shot

just looking at it now in the review panel under where I'm typing this now I can trim the bottom and it changes the image as I thought it would

I love it. Great colours, massive amount of ambiance.

The foreground could probably be cropped a little higher, as the large black area below the mountain does detract, but that could also be my uncalibrated monitor...

:up:

Gah, Keith beat me to it by a minute...I did the same cropping with the preview window! :lol:

Definitely crop some of the foreground and you will have a real winner. Fantastic image Leon.

I agree, crop the foreground a little bit, and it will be more than awesome (as it already is an awesome shot).

This is a haunting image! I agree that the foreground could be cropped away!

Would look great up on the wall in a Den or similar!
