Don't have many Landscape shots at the moment, so I thought I'd share one of the few that I do have.

Comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Beautiful image. The only change I would make would be to crop some of the totally dark area off the bottom. Thanks for sharing.

You have nice elements but I'd like to see some more detail in the foreground. Also, the sky could be a bit lighter. How did you meter this shot. A shot like this can benefit from spot metering so you can make sure that the areas that need exposure get it.

Great shot, Dave. I agree that perhaps cropping the bottom portion which is completely dark on my monitor, may help out this already awesome shot.
Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap, but memories are priceless.
