What do you think? Is it effective? I intentionally left a dark foreground. The scene is Mt Buffalo, in the Australian Alps, looking through to Mt Feathertop in the distance.

Canon 30D, Av setting, 24-105, 40mm, ISO 400, 1/1600, f/5.6, handheld.

It's time for a retake if possible.

The boulders that you are using to frame the image are excessive.
My eyes are drawn to the gap, it's just not wide enough.


The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.
A man's worth should be judged, not when he basks in the sun, but how he faces the storm.

needs a clear focal point. the framing is good, but there is nothing beyond.


I tried to write my signature, but my pen ran out and I put a big scratch on my monitor

if possible get a higher vantage point, eg a taller tripod, or stand on a nearby rock etc. and that way you can tilt the camera down to get the mountain vista as the image. also i would loose some of the dead space at the lower end of the frame.

Looks like a black hole you could not get out of, it does not lead you into the rest of the photo, the trip for me ends at the darkness.
