Post by: churly on March 07, 2014, 03:38:18 pm: As always, critique and suggestions welcome.

*EDIT I had some problems with the link and my archive and ended up linking a slightly different version. I'm trying to get the original back. Apologies.

My eye wants to wander a little further to the right, past where the sunlit cloud touches the edge of the frame. If that is not possible, slightly darkening that little piece of cloud might help.

No critique here. Really strong.

The version that is posted now is my attempt to get a bit of room on the right and deal with the halo. It wasn't actually a halo but rather some overdone burning on my part (assuming I went after what Chris was addressing). I'm still trying to recover the original post for comparison.
