This is a common problem: what do you do when you know the sky is going to be intrusive. In the first image, would it be stronger, if you cropped down to the curves and details in the lower left hand 2/3? I suppose Ansel would keep returning till the sky was magnificent as well, but we fleeting visitors do not have that luxury. YOu would have seen my images of the Canyon De Chelly where I cropped tightly along the horizon for this very reason: I don't think that solutioni was very good either. Alastair Thanks for the comments. I tend to thiink it needs some sky, but will try the cropping suggestions to see if I can make it better. Unfortunately this was one of the few sunny days while we were there. Most of the days it was overcast and gloomy. Probably an polarizing filter would have helped, but I do not have one to fit on the M6 lenses. You are right that Ansel would have kept coming back until the sky was just right. Maybe when I retire in 3 years I will fly back to Germany and try this again. ;-) I appreciate the comments. Gene
