You've pulled the shadows too hard here. I see what you were going for, but there are two ways to deal with this.
The first, is a massive hit of noise reduction, the other is to embrace the grain, and convert to black and white, while adding a bit more to even things out.
Great image for Peter, and really a powerful image as well, very spooky cloud mass there!
Thanks Cory - I do think on reflection there is too much noise. My laptop where I tend to do my processing tends not to make the noise so noticeable or perhaps it is the bottle of wine I have consumed whilst processing:)
I think adding more noise may have been a wise move to make it look less like it was not meant to be there. It was a wild night and unfortunately I was in a tent:)

Dark and full of pain, anxiety and suffering. Every moment an attack on your ability to not the silver lining which will always be there. That silver lining so well presented here.
Thank you for entering this wonderful work. Score 8
