Hi Kyle, welcome to BPN you will have fun here! I like your composition and it looks well exposed. Do you have any more foreground to add it looks a little chopped off to me. Like the branches and the clouds. Looks very moody to me.

Red carpet welcome to BPN, Kyle, I hope we can help you improve your skills, and have fun at the same time :)

Good critique by Jackie, anchoring is something that is important in landscapes, otherwise you are left wishing for more.
You can take advantage of our size and post a little bigger, easier to evaluate.

Looking forward to more and please feel right at home :)

Kyle, let's see a larger post of this image so we can give you better feedback. As is, I think lightening the foreground would help. Nice composition! Welcome to BPN.

[Kyle Marie Barcelos]

Thanks for the warm welcome. Hoping to learn more about photography. Thanks for the input :)

Hi Kyle,
Welcome to the forum! You placed the tree nicely and the sky exposure looks very good.......you didn't say whether you used a split ND.....but my guess is you didn't......this is the perfect time to try it in this case.......as it would have lightened the FG quite a bit and made the rock wall a bit more prominant. Agree with Jackie on a bit more base to anchor the image a bit more. Keep them coming and looking forward to more.

Just figured out how to resize. Hope this is better.

Kyle,

Welcome to the forum and BPN. Glad you got the resizing figured out. I would like to mention that our guidelines limit size to the following.

18. Images should not exceed 200 kilobytes nor should they exceed 1024 pixels on the horizontal side or 800 pixels on the vertical side.

I would agree with the comments of my fellow posters above. Thanks for visiting and hope to see you back.
