Well composed with the powerfull cliffs wich are balanced by the mountain at the right. Colors are fine, but if u ask me, i would prefer to have more muted colors i think the overall impact/mood would benefit from that. If colors in the sky have had a more laidback apperance, my eyes would stop a while on the cliffs, ...enjoying the glowing sun on the rock, before heading for the forrest and finally the sky. As it appears now, the journey starts at the sky and just have a short visit to the other elements before im back again. ...But of course this is probably a matter of taste. Regards!!

At first glance I did not notice that a filter had been used. When I looked closer the color in the right upper quarter below the plateau gave it away. I think the image is very good. As for when I'd use a tobaco grad; I think it works best when there is atmospheric conditions (and the hint of magic light) that would give a warm glow if the sun hit it right. It should also be the right time of the day, either morning or around sunset, to be belivable. In these cases I think the grad helps create the light that could have been there.

Take a look at this image of Lake Tahoe at sunset. The conditions were right for a glowing sky but the low snow clouds on the horizon blocked the rays. I think the thing that gives it away here is the lack of an orange reflection in the water.
