Dark Blue Sky
Composition (Content)
Your composition seems to be suffering from to much dark area at the bottom. The comments on cropping are correct. I also suffered last week due to cropping and having too much black area at the bottom of my photo. So a crop with just a strip of dark at the bottom and then the tower jutting out from that may have given youe a more pleasing composition. The cloud formations are terrific. Really work well to have the blue area stand out.
Background
Your DOF is good. You have good detail in the clouds on the horizon.
Camera Work (Technical)
Your white balance may be off a tad, as the cloud on the right is really washed out in comparison to the clouds on the left. The shot is level and in good focus.
Digital Processing (Technical)
Sharpening is good (No trace of over sharpening).
Balance between light and dark is fair. (I feel you may have done to much contrast enhancement.)
Compression is good (no jpeg artifacts)
May have wanted to run it through NeatImage to remove some of the noise in the clouds.
My opinion
The clouds and the tower hold the interest for me. I do find the amount of dark area at the bottom distracting. This is a good shot that with just some minor refinements could be a great shot. |

| Way too much dark area at the bottom of the picture. The sky is beautiful and the sillouette is nice. Nice idea just bad execution. PTL 4 |

| I love the silhoutte effect here. I think it would be better if you had cropped off the bottom dark area and concentrated on the minoret and the sky. |

| some definition in the lower half would be nice. unless you cut most of that out, then the silhouette would work beautifully. as it is, it's too distracting from the sky, and too void in comparison, and is distracting from the sky, which i assume by the title you mean to be the focus. if you resized it a bit bigger, and cropped down to 640x427 so that the ground took up a third or preferably less of the shot, and the tower was just a little further to the right it would be an absolutely amazing shot. |

| Great Sky. I would have shown more of the sky and less of the dark ground. A little grainy too. Good effort. Lnede |

| THe colors of the sky are interesting and sky should have made up 80% of the photo. |

| very nice. if i may, try giving the "earth" less space (1/3 is good) and the rest give to the ski and see how you like it. LM |
