Definitely dark and moody, Peter, yet there's good clarity in the foreground and the ridge on the right. Having the distant peaks fading into the darks adds a fine sense of depth.

Moody Mordor for sure. The FG is sweet, too. I'd love to see a larger version. Hard to say at this size but there could be a bit of haloing around the ridge on the right and there is a single spot of sensor dust just above it.

very moody image and light. I'm struggling with the imbalance a bit.

I like the dark and moody appeal of this image.

This is so good, the FG rocks so perfect and the fog............
