I love the atmosphere. I think you could do a little bit of selective highlights and shadows to make it a little more dynamic.

Personally, I'd also get rid of the small white spot near the top left, it's the first thing my eyes went to, even in the small thumbnail.

There's a lot to work with here, very nicely done.

Jordan, thanks for CC.
but "small white spot near the top left" - do you mean whiteish clouds stripe on the left just above middle?

Sorry, I meant to say top right, apparently I'm bad at words, haha. I mean where you can see a small white spot of light and some kind of silhouette , possibly a mountain or some clouds. It's right about where the upper right third (or first, I guess) is. There's also a small spot next to that where it seems brighter than the surrounding area, possible where the sun is.

Oh yes ))) right part of the frame.
You are right this sunlight spot (sun is behind mountain) is too bright (blown highlights). I dont know why its blown - on picture in full size its not blown

Lovely shot. My CC is that I think you've fallen into the same temptation I so often do - trying to get it all in. I find it strange having two light sources - i.e the bright parts of the sky. For me, it's an attention splitter and I would suggest concentrating on one or the other. Probably the one of the left would have been better since you can also see some nice lighting on the ground in the distance there.

Looks like a lovely moment to photograph :)

David, thanx! haven't seen it from your point of view! interesting!

Instead, I was looking at these two lights as leading lines to the central part of the frame ) and wanted to include both of them to show the beauty of sunlight from behind the mountain.
I agree that left part has its own picture "rights" and I will crop it to see how it looks.

UPD>
Its what I still have to learn - get an interesting frame. not to be afraid not to include subjects into frame

I agree with David entirely, one of my downfalls - taking elements out, particularly multiple eye drawing focal points, and sticking to a single one with leading lines leads to a stronger image. You can use both highlights of the sky in different images. Just a thought

Thanx Lorretta! already checked this option )
