Catchy title, Erik;-) i guess a vertical composition along with some more details in the sky would have been better. f/4 is an interesting choice. Any reason for that?

Very artistic interpretation Erik. I think either a crop that removed some from the bottom and the left (getting the "ceremony" off center or vertical crop to eliminate a lot of the sky and dark hill that don't add that much tot he image would make this much, much stronger.

Hi Erik,
Agree with above comments and observations.....which lens did you use? Composing this tighter.....or going with more of a pano crop eliminating a good portion of the FG would help. Try to see if you can tweak out some more detail in the sky.....that would also help. This is one of those situations I may have gone for the correct exposure on the sky and gooten just a silhouette of the rocks as the FG appears pretty unintresting anyway.
