The shutter speed is high because I was lying on my back with the lens pointed at the sky.

Very nice! I'd consider darkening and lowering contrast in the LR corner a little. The brightness and saturation there pulls my eye away from the rest of the scene.

[Dvir Barkay]

Yeah agree with Diane, otherwise nice shot with cool clouds.

Hi Diane and Dvir,

Accurate comment about the lower right hand side. Thank you. Have applied the darkening and contrast lowering and it is improved.

Hi Steve, Diane is on the money... the repost is better in my opinion because that corner now does not draw the eye so much. There is a white bird? splat on one of the rocks that is not in the OP... I would have traded some of that high shutter speed for a lower ISO and a bigger F stop... Might not have made a huge difference in this case but something to remember as sometimes its required... Nice clouds/sky...

Nice natural look to this one, Steve...
I agree with the above comments - the repost is better in that regard.
I see a notable halo along the left-hand ridge, perhaps a sharpening issue?

Hi Steve, The second image is much better balance tonal wise and while I like the comp I think it might have been dtronger if you had just a bit more room at the bottom. Also I think you could have sharpen this just a tad more.
