Hi Warren,
There are a few things I really like about your image. Firstly, the light is very soft, and the pastel colours are great. I can’t decide if the slight magenta feel to the sky is from the cold morning light, or from an ND grad filter? In any case, I think it looks good and compliments the warm foreground well.
At the moment the image feels a little unbalanced, as most of the action is in the left 2/3 of the image. I would suggest a crop as follows…

Nice image Warren.
This is just my opinion, I would have less sky, frame the image so that the horizon is about a third of the way from the top. Also I would move the mountain is to either the right or left of centre, and if possible have the stream drawing the eye to the mountain by positioning it in such a way that it looks like it is running towards it.
As I say, just my opinion and I am sure those who know more than me will tell you I’m an idiot. :D

Thanks Paul for your input as i say its my first real landscape, but i do tend to agree with you comments about the stream. I think i would have been better to move closer to the subject and as you said maybe the stream would lead your eye up to the mountain.

Thanks Steve for your comments, I do agree with you that a tighter crop would have worked better now its been pointed out lol as for the nd filter i use Hitec filters so do they tend to colour cast ?? the sky was a nice colour but maybe not just that purple.
Warren
I use a combination of Lee and Hi-Tech. The Hi-Tech are fine, as long as you don’t stack them – with my set that introduces a magenta cast.
Thanks Steven thats good to know , as a matter of fact i did have them stacked !!! lol
Cheers Warren
nice image, nothing to add a Steve has giving you all the right advice. pbyrne, your no idiot as a crop just above the magenta works better, well for me anyway. well done
This is a nice shot. Love the feeling of space and expanse. However I do think as someone else mentioned the mountain needs to be far right. Working with what you have the following would be my take on the most appropriate Crop….
Really nice shot regardless, nice light and sharrpness though. Well done
