Superb! Stunning! Is this scanned from a negative or a print? One minor issue to work on is the slight "halo" from burning the sky over the mountains from left to about midway. If you are printing digitally it is easy to solve by working your mask at a finer level. If your doing it traditionally it is a bit harder but burning a bit further down with a really soft edge tool will smooth the transition.

The upright rocks look very much like what we call "tombstone schist" in the gold country of California.

thanks Kirk for your praise, and productive feedback. it is in fact a scan of the negative. the halo might have been increased due to a poor reduction technique. I have to admit thought that my photoshop skills are something to work on.. :)

interesting ... i've googled it.. the ones i've seen here are much smaller than the pictures i saw..

I can't determine the sense of scale in your shot, but the schist stones here can get to about 15 feet tall, though shorter stones are much more frequent. I like the fact that you have left them backlit and nice and dark.

Very nice indeed; I do like that combination of film and developer.
