Another from my recent trip to Cradle Mtn/Lake St Clair National Park in Tasmania.
After 36 hours of steady rain, this grey, cloudy but tranquil evening descended , before the more spectacular dawn of my earlier post.

I like this image. I like the light, the detail and the way you captured the feeling of the overcast evening. There is also a lot in the image that keep my eye searching through it. Very well done.

Your composition works well as the fallen log creates depth to the scene.  Overall your presentation is a bit dark and ominous.  I would suggest lifting the shadows a little and see if it is to your liking.  For my tastes it would help to see a bit more detail in the shadows.

Nice moody image. I like the dark presentation, gives it a threatening and ominous look that works for me.

Love the little bit of color in the foreground vs the greyness of the image generally. Well composed.

For me the composition is quite interesting, and has potential - but for me it doesn't work, 

In my personal opinion, moody images like this have to be executed perfectly to work, and there are too many technical issues, the rocks in the foreground look like too much shadow detail has been pulled out - to the point where the image quality has deteriorated, the branch also has a halo around it where the shadows have been pushed. 

That said, I like the idea behind it, and I think the composition is correct - it just needs a little more finesse in the capture - which would require less processing and result in overall higher image quality.
