    I was out at an area called Devil's Backbone in the Bighorn Basin of Wyoming last night for sunset. Here I'm looking NW, towards the Beartooth Mtns. You can also see the Pryor Mtns in the NE.

    Polarized and 3 stop reverse GND feathered...

    Hey Dale,
    I like the sky and but the scene overall looks very flat. I wonder if you could go in and tweak a few areas to highlight them or bring more contrast into the MG for more impact? The RGVD did a very nice job on the sky......so worth putting some tweaking into the FG and middle ground as the vista looks speactacular! Tweaking this will really make it shine!

    Hi Dale, I just brought it into PS to do a contrast adj to see the effect and it adds depth to the image.
    The GND evened out the exposure nicely. Good representation of the terrain...

    It looks much better in LR.... Image is not handling the jpeg compression well at all. I had to save it at 3 quality to get the file size low enough!
