Very moody. Love the twisted tree in the foreground leading onto the harsh landscape.

Excellent shot. Always partial to a knarled tree.

Lucky chap living near to such a place! Very well structured with excellent tones. My guess is it would make a striking mono conversion.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Nice colours and composition. Did you use any gradient filter or they were the original colors?

Thanks for the comments folks - really encouraging.

I used a graduated filter in LR to brighten the bottom part of the image slightly - I've been struggling with conditions with big sky-land contrast. PP obviously helps but time to play with graduated filters on the camera, methinks.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try this - I've not tried mono very much, so it will be nice to play/learn about this.

Excellent photograph! I also agree that this cries out for some mono treatment playing around with the colour mix.
