Just the other day I and a friend went to the German Isle Juist. We had the oppertunity to take a private flight lesson and photograph all day on the Isle.
The flying part was great, but the weather was terrible. It was a very grey, dull and rainy day. I hoped to try my new Lee filters with nice weather and beautifull clouds.
This was what I got instead. I used the GND 2 stop Hard Edge, 81A and Polariser. It was great to see the results with the before and after shots that the foreground opened up completely and in the same time I got a bit of detail in the sky. I am really happy with the new filters and can not wait to try them under better conditions

20D, 17/40-4, G1320, ASB1 and the Lee filters

This is nice but I really think there is too much grey sky. Crop it to a square it look s a bit better.

Way too much sky. The foreground is great.

The foreground is beautiful, it needs to be more dominant in the image and much less sky.

I agree that there is too much sky for the composition to be successful. Unfortunately cropping the upper part of the sky means losing all the nice cloud detail - I still think you have to do it though. Good use of the filters. On overcast days be careful that the warm-up doesn't add unwanted colour to the clouds (unless you're using a graduated warm-up).
