I think the image is confused. The foreground with the trees and the light streaming from the left is a good image.The cloud covered mountain is equally a good image in it’s own right. My eye tries to move to the mountain but is drawn back to the trees because its too strong a foreground. Isabella may have a point here; a bit more field would lift the image onto the horizontal ‘rule of thirds’ ie field, trees, mountain and maybe a contrast boost would separate the three. all in all its a nice pic of a beautiful location

Good job on both. On the first, maybe stand in the middle of the 2 leading lines and lower to the ground. Draw the eye to the natural focal point in the middle of the image. well done

looked on flickr at the big version – beautiful image!
I really like the sun and the level of contrast. is it infrared?

no its not infrared Isabella. Sometimes i just pour on the contrast and then do a B&W conversion. sometimes it works.

Thank you for your comments and and advice taken Mauriceg. The Pentax kx is my first dslr and it suits my talent perfectly (entry level). Having said that, i have several lenses now so i guess i’ll upgrade to another Pentax. Something weather sealed.

Again, thank you for your comments
