thanks for the comments Bob and Larry. I deliberately rendered it on
the dark side to capture the mood I was trying to portray - hence the
midtones are intended to be a shade above black, the mist close to
white, and areas of black with black silhouettes for individual trees
and bits of the cliff above the nearer crater. I suspect the
appearance will depend very much on your monitor settings. It looks
how I intended it to look on my recently calibrated monitor here, but
I can imagine results will vary on other people's monitors. Am
interested in how others find it - perhaps I've gone too far with
lowering the tones in the mid-range?
I think that I agree with Jack that this is an image that would most
benefit from being a large print. Images on small monitors lose too
much so that subtlety just becomes a near total loss of detail.

Alastair,
It's pretty dark to see what's happening.
Looking magnified, I believe I see conifers.
Regards, Bob S.
I really like it, but it could use a little boost in the midtones and darker
midtones to get a bit more shadow detail.

This is taken at Waimangu Valley - a geothermal rift valley in the
central North Island, New Zealand. The mist is in fact steam from two
crater lakes. A very interesting place to visit.
