    It looks to me like there are two separate pictures going on in here - one with the beautiful subdued light on the water and the almost metallic look of the rock at the bottom, and then the other with the rock silhouettes and the subtle graduated sky at the top. I'm struggling to enjoy them together as one coherent image though. Was it with a very wide lens? Do you tend to use different focal lengths, at all, when you're doing your landscape thing?

    i think it lacks foreground interest; though, to partially echo what elven said, if you crop to the top 40% or so, it looks very nice.

    Thanks guys,

    Elven, this was taken using a 21mm which is a moderate wide angle on the Pentax APS sensor (equivalent to 32mm on film camera). I sometimes use a 14mm lens (21mm equivalent on film) but this subject didn't suit it (too much sky).

    MagicB, thanks for that. I wouldn't tend to crop so severely in post process because I need to print these to A3 for sale. Perhaps as you say if I had tried to get just shoot the stacks on their own, that might have worked.

    Andy
