This view was the goal to shoot on the evening up on the mountain. I'd imagined shooting the view with a sunstar and I executed that shot and was happy with it ([link]) but for me the 10 minutes or so after sunset provided the most atmosphere. I also shot this scene in portrait and as a massive panoramic. One of the great benefits of having a really strong focal point and a dramatic backdrop is it gives you a huge amount of flexibility.

Best. No doubt about it. I would have shot another frame cropped below the clouds for a completely different atmos but I guess you could crop if you wanted that.

Apart from the Castell y Gwynt shot this is my favourite too. I tried the crop but didnt like it. Try it and I think you might find the shot becomes plain but that's just my opinion :)

Plain(er) yes, simpler, easier to grasp, more direct, to the point. I like it but I love it this way too.

mmm I don't think that's the reality actually, I think if you cut the sky out the image loses a lot of context
