I'll bet the full rez looks awesome Guy :toast: :toast:

It looks good here, but I think compression is blocking a lot of subtle detail in the darker areas.

Careful use of a burn tool would help tone down the bright highlights in the farm buildings.

Very nice :toast: :toast:

Oh my, i love it.

I take it you used some ND filters for this ?.Or is it a double exposure.

Very very very nice ... said the hill walker. Is the hill's extreme craggyness in the photo a function of light or processing - either way Tryfan is a good day out then onto the Glyders..

Love it, love the moodiness and the sun breaking through, sort of view that makes the effort of getting there worthwhile.

Hello.
Andy you are quite right the low rez image is blocking up the detail in the sky, and has you have said the full size image looks good.

Alan no filters were used and it is only one exsposure, but it has been processed three time in raw to get the shadow and highlight detail and one for colour.

Tom the craggyness in the mountain was there but I have helped it with some dodgeing and burning.

Thanks for looking and comments. :wavey:

Superb light in this shot! Absolutely magical. I love combos of grey and red-brown. :toast:

Very dramatic looking shot Guy and as I used to say in LIncolnshire "It looks a bit over fathers onions " basically this means its going to P it down. :toast:
