Love the light- dark and yellow-blue contrasts and the tactile, snowy slopes.

Again, a bit more detail in the foreground wouldn't hurt ;)

It's gorgeous, Jeremy, but I have to agree with Slobodan. I also think it's unfortunate that the foothills had to start in the center of the frame, but I don't see how it could have been avoided. Lower the frame and you get too much foreground; raise it and you end up with a bunch of blue sky. But these are nitpicks.

It's all been said now. It is beautiful, and you have the best composition that nature allows, but pulling a bit more detail in the foreground will definitely help.

The foreground is too dark. Otherwise, it's a handsome image.

I thought the original image was just right. That lava field can look dark in some conditions.

Here's my whim: The original was too dark but the new version is too light in the foreground. I would go for one that is closer to the original, but a tiny bit lighter in the foreground.

Rajan, Eric: I think you're both right. I was too heavy-handed. The fact that it can be done doesn't mean it should be done.

Here is the thing: the foreground of this type should not be uniformly dark or light, it should gradually move from dark to light(er), i.e., the closest foreground the darkest. That way you are leading the viewer toward the main point of interest.

You also might want to consider what to do with the figure there, which wasn't visible in the OP. To clone it out or, if to leave, to lighten it enough to differentiate from the rest?

Graduating the foreground would be a fairly easy exercise. I'll give it a go. I'll clone out the photographer, now he's visible.
