A classic composition Pramote but very well captured.
I especialy like the shadow detail.
I may be wrong but I don't think that the JPEG does this image justice.
Do you have a large print - I bet it looks tens times better!

Great to see what that camera can provide for you!  May be me, but the horizon looks off by a degree or so.

My feeling, exactly!

The print (17x22") came out beautifully!
Compared to the Phase One IQ180, the D800E has slightly better dynamic range, the best for shadow.
Nowsday I bracket. For the D800E, 3 frames are usually enough. I've used the graduate neutral density filter (especially the 2 and 3 stops) only for panorama or very long exposure.
The D800E is an outstanding camera for landscape.
