Well, i don't have the street cred' that Slobodan has, but i would have gone the other way, trimming the foreground, and keeping the sky. The image impressed me as about the wispy tones in the clouds more than the repeating patterns in the ground. To each their own and since we both see something we like, don't touch it. How well did the wispy tones in the clouds print ?

Thats very interesting Frank, initially, that night while I was sliding round the rocks, it was the strong line pulling me in and the textures on the rocks that caught me, it was only afterwards that the subtlety of the clouds attracted me.
Print wise, Im in the throws of trying different papers for a up coming project, but on the oyster 271, its lovely, their very slight and the semi gloss has retained their detail.
Decisions, decisions. Life was simpler with slides.
Lovely shot.
Haha I think your right Scott, part of me does long to shoot more film for landscapes and try remove myself a little further from the whole processing bit. I seem to be living in my office these days, after editing work for others, its very tough to motivate yourself to work on personal images.
I like it as it is. There is a good balance between land and sky, no problem with horizon in the middle IMO.
You may try to add a gradient filter in the sky just to extract a tiny more detail and make it more "alive", but that's it.
Thanks Paulo, I was very conscious of the horizon in the middle and as I was shooting it, I had planned a 10x8 crop for it, I have already pulled a large amount of detail back from the sky, (I wont hear a bad word said about the 5dsr! Im blown away with what I can get from it) but I might have another punt and see how it pans out.
Thank you all for taking the time to look and the image and provide your feed back. Its fantastic to have some other opinions on a image.
