If your a fan of Ansel Adams you would know he discovered the zone system 10 shades from white to black and his idea of a perfect photo was that it must contain the 10 shades, again i feel your blacks are too over done and there are no whites in this, compositions fine, but i think so much has been over done.

Thank you so much for the extremely useful observations, I have read of the zone system, but as my work portrays have far from mastered it. Are there any good resources you would recommend to look further into it? Simon

G'Day simon ansel adams put out 3 books which you can still buy off amazon 1 was the camera another was the print and the other was the negative the print for you would be of valuable information... you must try to remember to get detail in your shadows as well as your highlights as you know ansel shot in film and I'm still using film so with digital it should be even easier to achieve. If i do scans I always do low contrast scans and it gives me detail in these areas and then I finish the image in photoshop if there's no detail in a certain area you can't correct it. There's also a lot of books on amazon with a wealth of knowledge that would be useful to you.... geoff..... hope I've been of some help

Geoff you have been of great help Sir, landscapes are my passion and your suggestions are very much welcomed and appreciated. Could do with a mentor with your level of knowledge and experience, I might get some where then!! Thanks again Geoff really appreciative of your time. Simon

Any time my friend your very welcome Here's your first lesson.. I always look at my images as not beautiful photos but photos of beautiful things. Here's a couple of names to look up on the net.... Hans Strand, Charles Cramer, Christopher Burkett, and Peter Dombrovskis you wont find much better than these there's also a canadian named Adam Gibbs look up their sites google their names in and enjoy... Thanks so much keep in touch and keep shooting..

Thank you once again, this for me is brilliant, its what I joined Deviant Art for, to learn and try to become more knowledgeable and better with my camera. Names are duly noted and homework will begin this weekend for sure. Thanks again Geoff.

I really like the undulating form of the landscape and the ominous feel that comes from the cloud formation and the use of black and white.
