that's a real nice picture. only thing i would say is crop out most of the black top of the picture...it takes away from the lighter part in the middle. if you divided it between two 'halves' you would get the light in the sky vs the silhouette of the tree and the ground. the black sky takes away from that contrast
Lovely! I'd crop a touch off from the top so that the height of the black sky equals the height of the black at the bottom edge. More balanced that way - almost like a widescreen template.
Mav - it's a good shot, but I think I'd do the following prior to making it a print:
1. retouch out the distracting tree
2. clone out the gloomy clouds
3. remove the odd, light coloured stripes coming out of the clouds
3. crop out the dark mass at the bottom
4. stick a sleepy cat in it
5. make it colour
Thanks for all your help. I have set prices to the nearest dollar over base for the rest of the weekend if anyone wants this print - it's available up to 16x24. :)
