Hi Tom, I like your use of a leading line along with a tight composition. Your exposure is good even seeing some detail in the distant mountains.To my eye the image also conveys a somber mood which I like. I realize you couldn't do anything about it but I would of preferred not seeing the scrub on the waters edge. IMO it breaks up the view...

Hi Tom,
This scene definitely conveys a dark and somber mood. The split ND dakened the sky and corners a bit too much for me...but a small bit of lightening of the mountain and outside edges of sky.....may bring a bit of needed seperation from those bushes Dave mentioned. Just small tweaks to a nicely composed image.

Techs already addressed much better than I could...

I love the leading lines of the handrails and the dynamic sky!

Thanks for sharing!

Cheers for your comments Dave - wanted a moody feel to the scene hence the dark tones. As I didn't have a chainsaw in the bag itd a question of living with the scrub :D
