Very unusual landscape and very dramatic clouds/mist. I like the diagonals lines and the straight waterway running vertically.
The eye is kept pleasantly busy looking and following the forms and shapes.
May I ask how you blend 2 exposures?

Hi Rudi
I am rubbish at B&W but I happy to comment... This is very dramatic countryside and the clouds provide a lot of moody atmosphere. Well captured, and a place I would surely love to visit. For me, the FG looks a bit too contrasty, not sure if its sharpening, or the b&W conversion and a see a bit of noise in the cloud (so maybe it is sharpening..?), but like I said, my B&W skills are a work in progress so 'a grain of salt' and all that...

Thanks for the feedback guys! Gail, I used the blue channel luminosity mask method to blend the exposures. Don, yip, I might have to look at the sharpening of the clouds - I usually apply less sharpening to clouds, but I also think the added contrast to the clouds might play a role...

Nice mood here mate. As mentioned elsewhere - dodging midtones and highlights on the rock faces and highlights in the sky will add more pop and tonal contrast
