The same peak as my previous post from the southern Drakensberg...
This time a different angle and taken during "blue hour" shortly after sunset.
Blend of 2 exposures using luminosity masks.

Techs:
Nikon D800 with Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 @ 21mm
f11 @ ISO-200

Hi Morkel.

I love the 'dynamic' clouds you have captured here.. very nice, and the composition is strong also (as i would expect from you) with the rock anchor and the little lead off to the left. I am not viewing this on my usual screen, just a rubbishy little laptop and while the image seems a little dark to me I am tending to think its the laptop... It is a pity that the foreground does not have the sun on it same as the slope to the left...

thanks for showing

DON

Hi Morkel - I really like this one. The placement of the rocks in the fg is perfect and you have extracted great detail in the clouds. Nicely done.

TFS,
Rachel

I like the cold look to the sky and the well composed FG and MG Morkel. One of your best to date in this forum.

Wonderfully crafted image Morkel with the placement of the elements in the frame and the detail captured in the sky.

Hi Morkel, ditto Robert's comments. Love the blue cloud-scape!
