Thanks

Great details, William
Have you chosen a reduced tonal range or is that just the jpeg, because there doesn’t appear to be any bright white in the clouds or rock, nor any deep, full blacks in the trees or shadows. It seems like it should/could be a full-tone image, given the sunshine and shadows.

I agree.
I would like to see the lighter areas a bit lighter .

Hi Terry

I did choose a reduced tonal range because the whites in the rocks actually hurt my eyes, so I toned it down - but you are right about the blacks, which I have now changed. Thanks to you and Eric!

For me it's lacking foreground for DoF, and it fails to have a strong subject matter that compels me to more than glance.
