It is a bit dark and maybe crop some of the sky out

The ground is definately too dark...a graduated ND filter would have made the picture much better. Unlike coates I would say not to crop the sky, the contrast of the different areas (storm clouds, regular clouds, and blue skies) adds a lot in my opinion. I would leave the sky as is and get do a duplicate layer in photoshop and try to lighten up the ground but leave the sky untouched.

Maybe it is a bit dark..

My comment though is (without knowing the surroundings) that personally i would include more of the field surrounding the river and have the sky fill a smaller portion of the photo. That would probably miss the clouds which are great, though.

Well it is a bare rough mountain under poor light conditions .. what is any photographer to do? Not much in the Filed I wold say.

Anyway here is a touch up following the procedure that I describe for "Shadows at http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41042 Here I had to "patch" the pond.

Or better, if you shot RAW, process it twice, once for the sky, and then again for the ground.

I have spent too much time replying to posts-- when I should have spent the time learning more from this wonderful site. What a wonderful site and suggestion.

PS
Just in passing I wanted to add that one can do a sort of "fast -- take a look - blend" by using the magic wand to isolate the dark areas and then (inverse selection) the light areas-- and blend via Levels.
