I ended up exposing the sky for 75 seconds with a grade 5 filter, the ground and the sky for 25 seconds with a grade 2 filter. Then I partially toned it with sepia, then fully toned it in selenium. I would have given up on it if not for the good advice received on the thread. Thanks all!
Well I like the picture. If you were just to use the lower 1/3 of the picture you get a whole different image all together. I think the bottom 1/3 gives more emphasis on the contours of the ground and not on the sky. Just a thought. We all see things differently. Thats why we love photography.
