Thank you all for taking time to comment, appreciate your advice regarding the composition.
PhatMaverick: This is an excellent location with a lot of opportunities I think the evening would be the best time of the day for photo shooting. The sun is behind you and slightly on the left in summer time.
jodal1975 and Deebo: You might be right I should do some cropping, will definitely visit this place and try again.
John (5faythe): I’m glad you like it. I was happy that I could get one shot reasonably sharp in such conditions.
I’m going to spend as little as possible if you know what I mean :)
Please tell me more about this lens.
1. How old is it?
2. Production code?
3. Is there any guarantee left?
4. Is it clean in and out?
5. any visible marks?
6. Do you have all stuff which come with this lens I mean lens hood, case, box?
7. Any problem with focusing?
8. Where are you based?
Thanks for your comment Sodafarl.
As I mentioned I used two filters: ND8 to slow down shutter speed by 3-stops and Graduated 1.2 to darken the sky.
Thanks to the filters I hadn’t too much work in PS. I was really surprised by effect of Graduated filter as I used it first time.
I increased contrast a little bit, levels and sharpen both images by 60%. Some burn and dodge tools were used too.
