My first real attempt at exposure blending. It was a beautiful morning in the Arava desert. The first beautiful morning in a long time. We go about 5 months without seeing cloud in the sky. But winter brings some amazing photo opportunities.

The way I see it, you probably should add some sun colors on the floor.I see the bright yellow-orange sky, but there is no light on the ground at all.
Thanks for giving us this view of your surroundings. I quite like the image as it is but rather than blending I would be looking for a neutral density filter to balance the exposure.
Yes thanks. I'm very new to photography. I am picking up a set of filters asap
Its a great hobby and sometimes can lead to an occupation but I would avoid that possibly as when you shoot for money it can take some of the joy out of it.Sometimes anyway.Keep up the good work. Enjoy your journey.
I'm really enjoying it. And I know what you mean. I already had someone approach me asking me to do a little work for them taking some interesting photos of a factory and I'm like meh that's not really what I like doing. I think maybe it's hard to have that creative spark when you're not fully inspired. Thanks for the vote of confidence.
This looks like a really nice location, I think there is a lot of promise here.
A common thing I see a lot of new photographers doing is including too much sky and not enough foreground (I've been guilty of it too). Clouds always look great in real life, but they don't usually make compelling subjects on their own, at least in my opinion. I'd recommend trying to find a foreground interest, leading line, or using a long lens to make the tree look bigger. The way I see it, clouds should enhance a subject, not be the subject itself.
This isn't an actual rule, it's just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt, but for the most part skies shouldn't make up 50% of your frame from top to bottom without a purpose (you're photographing a storm or something spectacular is happening).
Before investing in too much gear or technical stuff, focus on compositions, they are free of charge and the key to a good photo. I hope this didn't come across as too harsh.
Not too harsh at all man. Always looking for constructive criticism/advice. I am a total neophyte to photography. I bought my first camera a Nikon d5100 a month ago. So I need all the advice I can get. Thank you.
Gorgeous sky. I feel like having more foreground with some texture in it would help though.
