Sorry that almost sounds vulgar. This is one I took two years ago when I was first getting into photography. It's a pano, so I posted a link so you could see it as big as you like. Miss my old rebel sometimes.
Fyi, I don't really expect to make money on the website, but you don't win the lottery if you don't buy a ticket.

I think the whole foreground is too bright, at least compared to the background. Looks like a too-heavy GND filter. But it's a very cool shot, if you can find a way to even out the exposures!

And no, the rocks are not too bright. Excellent image.

Yeah, parts of the rock are too bright. Using Tony Kuyper's Luminosity Mask actions ('Super Lights' in particular) will help tone down the brightest areas that aren't totally overexposed.

Thanks John. That toned them down a little.
Todd, thanks for the english lesson. I'll keep my Strunk & White closer to the computer.

Lance, your link opens to the first image in your gallery, which is not a pano.
I assume your question refers to the LAST image?
If so, yes, the foreground is far too bright for my taste.

I agree with the others, the foreground is a bit distracting due to being too bright. I would try to even out the exposure a bit more so your eye flows through the scene more naturally.

Thanks guys. I re-uploaded and deleted the old one. I'll fix the link when I get to a computer (this is from my phone).
I ran the TK action. But I'll rework some more. Thanks for the feedback.
