I wouldn't change a thing, and in fact this is pretty much the way I would have taken it. Losing the knot at the end of the rope takes a lot of "interestingness" out of the photo. If anything, I might have clipped a little of the foreground and let the rope fall nearer to the bottom of the picture.I like it.

Gorgeous. I like composition and tones. Is there a concept of favorite images on Apug? This one would definitely go there.

I would loose half the fore ground between the rope and the edge of the frame plus a bit of the left hand margin ~ Its a great shot and really it doesn't matter what we think - yours is the only opinion that counts ~ Have fun playing with the composition ~ Martin

Paul like other people I would be inclined to crop out some of the foreground before the knot and I would not have the sky so black in the top portion of your photo.

Like this a lot. I'd consider moving POV to the left, bringing the rope more disagonally across the frame (but then I don't know what the mountain range looks like to the right ...).

I echo many of the comments of cropping the foreground. I also believe that your composition would be stronger with less sky, and less dark. It looks very 'burned in' in the print, mainly because of the clouds not looking quite white in the top portion. You do have a nice negative - it just needs some work to give its best.

Hi all, thanks for all the comments, they've all been very helpfull, the image is the full 35mm neg with nothing at all done to it while it was being scanned and prepared are as a jpeg so I've no idea why the top area is dark, hardly the nd grad not being down far enough, I'm hoping to make a decent 12X8 print so there'll be plenty of cropping going on. Again thanks for C and C
