Dear all I have been trying to upload this chilly landscape for over a week now, and now I have finally managed, "I just hope that it was worth all the effort?"

I had a rather pants day following my visit to the Optician, but I am trying to remain positive...

Thank you all for your wonderful comments following yesterdays upload "Sole Destroyed", it is very refreshing to know that such a discarded object could attract so much attention.

Today I shill be spending my day in doors, trying to shake off yesterdays shenanigans, whilst a view and comment on your great work.

I wish you all have a great day ahead.

Regards as always

Nathan

Tonally this is just very flat. It needed one stop less grad (if used) when shooting and the levels sorting out in post-production. You can choose to ignore this advise by all means but it will improve your work.

Version 2 has improved it but I'd be inclined to go a touch further and even add a tonal S curve that would just give those white clouds a boost.
