But there is a hard to balance tipping point from mood to too dark. Maybe I overdid it this time.
Hi
No, I don't think you over did it, the image on my monitor looks dark - but I wasn't sure if that was a function of the scanner or your original intention.
As the photographer, you have the right to print your work how you see fit.
I like the effect - it makes the mood rather foreboding and overall it makes for a fabulous print.
Martin :)

Nicely done, Bryan. It is a difficult image to pull off. You have blended together the fore/mid/background well and avoided what can sometimes give the viewer the feeling of looking at two different images in one photo (I find it distracting). I might print it with a little more atmospheric distance, but that is my Death Valley -- a shake 'n' bake in an oven set too high.
This is the backside of Manly Beacon -- I believe...it has been awhile and sometimes it can be difficult knowing exactly where one is. At the back end of Golden Canyon, though.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks Vaughn. I'll have to experiment with the printing. This is pretty much a straight scan, but I forgot to mention that I used both an R25 filter and polarizer. I was hoping, and got, a good deep shadow with detail in the mountain on the upper right, but I wasn't sure what the sky would do with that filtration. Pretty much the same thing it does here in the summer - a middling grey.
