Great valley view, wonderful sky...and nice rays.

Very dramatic view William -- the rays through the notch in the moutains and the sky are spectacular. I like it very much as presented, though perhaps the brightness could be reduced ever so slightly for a more dramatic appearance.

Good stitching here. Overall it has a tonemapped look to it - not sure if you ran it through Photomatix or some kind of HDR software?

Good job stitching here and a really stunning view. For me retaining a bit more of the highlights in the sky where the sun is would help balance the image as my eyes are constantly pulled into that spot. Blending a bracketed exposure looks like the only solution in this case.

Thank you so much for your visit and comments,

Yes, I used Photomatix. The exposures were a bit underexposed (probably the GND filter? it was the second time I used it) after processing the raw files I did not like the results so I tried it in Photomatix, the results are much better. When I use Photomatix I always try to create a natural look, I think this one is a bit overdone, thank you for letting me know.


I will work on it.

I like it! The position of the sun over that notch in the mountains works very well. You got a great sky, and the rays from the sun only improve it.

Processing is good. Perhaps it could be improved, but it's still pretty good as it is.

Works really well for me...I think this is a lovely image!
