Longhorn (v3.3)

This has been evolving slowly last couple of weeks. Although this is

close to my original vision, I think the horizon is too high on the

frame to have a clean message. I'm looking for suggestions and comments,

there is something of a tonal mismatch between the sky and foreground cliffs; perhaps lighten the upper reaches of the sky to bring it back into to the rest of the image. everything else looks well executed and you have the elements of a very strong landscape

And, as the other commenter wrote, the tonal mismatch is a little bit annoying, otherwise superbly fine image.

fine comp and B&W !

The main reason there is unusual tonal range is the tree on the right corner. It has been my intention to use as the anchor for the composition. However the contrast between the tree ans its background so low enough that I was force to enhance the contrast by using red channel data only. hence, the result seen here. Last night, I gave up on the tree and decided to shift the horizon lower, showing a bit more sky above. This will make the longhorn more noticeable.
