I really like the composition and the way the valley leads off into forever. Nice composition.

You indicate that you increased the contrast and for me this creates a bit of an artificial look. It that the look you were going for? Not having been to Norway I don't know what it really looks like, but this just as an over done feel for me.   Posted: 05/08/2020 16:42:22

I'm fine with the composition, so I wouldn't crop from the bottom. Actually, you got more or less the same space from the top to the mountain as from the bottom to the pools, which is good. A lot of interesting shapes that complement each other. My only comment is that the final image looks over-processed. Maybe too much sharpening, which is noticeable in the halo along the mountains. It's just a matter of reducing it a little.   Posted: 05/09/2020 18:49:59

I would not crop the bottom; I like the composition. I also like the dark moodiness of the landscape. I would like to see the original, as it appears the contrast may be too high, causing the dark shadows to block up.   Posted: 05/10/2020 14:12:27

Thanks everyone. I agree that it is overdone and the halo is really bad. On my computer the shadows do not appear blocked. I will calibrate the display. The picture in raw is deadly flat.   Posted: 05/10/2020 17:01:01

Very impressive landscape. I like the massive icy, frozen area with only a tiny green area along the slope. The treatment of the sky is very nice. I see halo effect along the mountain edges so backing off sharpening might get rid of it. Very nicely composed.   Posted: 05/12/2020 09:29:48

This image works really well for me. I can appreciate the color palette that you have presented here emphasizing all the blue tones. It provides a cool, peaceful look to the scene. I think the composition is good as it is. I would not crop anything.   Posted: 05/12/2020 12:16:09

I think the composition is very nice. The shape and lines formed by the mountains and lakes are attractive. I can appreciate the texture of the rocks in the foreground and no need for further cropping. I agree that the sharpening and contrast can be reduced.   Posted: 05/13/2020 10:30:00

I like the composition and color. I would not crop anything from the picture but I do agree that it needs to have sharpening decreased to eliminate the halo around the mountain.
