Took this at the weekend. Like the cloud shadowing Great Gable but I think there may be "too much" sky. C & C's please

I like it the way it is, the aspect ratio appeals to me a very nice almost panoramic feel. I like the amount of sky, and the shadows and light on the mountains really emphasises there shapes and contours.

I think your right Stan. For me a far more interesting shot in a letterbox format.

Really like that but yes, bit too much sky for me. Would crop a bit off the top personally.

I think that your composition of this attractive photo is just right, Stan. The viewpoint draws the eyes up towards the clouds over the distant mountains, and the bigger sky benefits this landscape by enhancing the impressions of height and space - a letterbox format would be claustrophobic, and therefore inappropriate here. It looks like bright, middle of day sunlight there, so for me the brightness and contrast could do with a slight boost. Just my opinions, of course.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

It's a nice image Stan. I don't know the exact viewpoint you took this from, but for me the best improvement would have been to include some foreground detail (rocks at water's edge etc) and then the amount of sky would not have been so prominent. This would have made for a more balanced image.

Leave as it is for me.

I think the darker blue balances the water nicely.

I like it either way Stan, left as it is or cropped into a letterbox.

I would clone out that irritating dark smudge on the left hand edge of the frame though.

I hadn't seen that one there was a darker one on the right which I did get.

Opinion seems divided on the sky so have tried David Storm's suggestion of a little foreground to balance the image, as it was only grass I've cropped it little.

Edit: This refers to the original. I hadn't seen the
edit which I'm undecided about... looks too much
foreground.

I like that as it is, but you need to spot out the
distracting white bit on the right side

It's not distracting, but the central white dot on the
water line could probably go.

Needs to be bigger as well so we can look for Nessie
