The mountain in the background is Trollveggen, where base jumpers jumps from the top, and landing in the valley below. The river down in the valley is Rauma. I would like suggestions on how to improve the picture.   :-)

The mountain, sky and valley below are all very appealing, but the gravel in the foreground looks like it could be the edge of a Wal-Mart parking lot. I guess I would suggest trying to find something more attractive to use as a foreground.

For what it's worth, your HDR merged pano including the same mountain is simply gorgeous. Very nice work. It would make a wonderful large print on the wall.

On my monitor the image is 10 7/8 X 8 1/4 inches. I would crop 2 1/2 inches up from the bottom.The shot is AWESOME!.I would love to go to Norway.My Grandmother was from Toten.
I think even the rock in the foreground look nice too.I'm on a calibrated monitor but not in a browser that is....!

I have another version on another forum, that is cropped much the way you suggest (link below). It has a tiny purple fringe in the upper left corner though, which I was not aware of when I posted. Thanks to both of you for evaluating my work.
