Great cloud formation in this shot.

nice black and white, looks like the clouds are restless.

Wow, so dramatic. It looks so cold. Makes me glad I'm not there and only looking at your fabulous photo instead!

Nice clouds. Brrrrr - it looks cold!

Hey Rob, I think the biggest improvement in this shot could be achieved by considering a 'zones' approach (y'know, like Ansel Adams).


You've already got one zone sorted - for the sky - and how gorgeous is that!

But right now, there's not enough of a distinction between those lovely stones and lichen and the surface of the water.

Look at where the rock has the darker trees as a background - you get to see all those lovely tones.

I don't know if during the conversion you can make the water darker or lighter - or conversely, the rocks darker or lighter. But I reckon you need something to separate the two.

All imho, of course!

I made a similar comment about your similar tree shot but lost it before I could post :(

Neither the sky or the water look very friendly. Very nice shot though.
