very impressive image, due to the dramatic light and the greats tones of this B&W.
You have a great style, I love to see your portfolio.
I have to say that probabily these image in some details is too soft...but just a little thing.

I think the same as for Linux - very good and completely free :)
I am using a mkhdr and pfstools/pfst_mo. Here is the result of my first HDR test:

One exposure and a 12-stop HDR |

Mohammad, thankyou for your constructive comments! Being well aware of the fact that the horizon surely enough splits this scene in two, I however chose to shoot the frame in such a way. I saw the two halves as being so different from each other, that the best way to display them would be to give them both an equal amount of room. It is indeed against the rule of thirds, but rules are sometimes made to be broken. Now, it's a totally different matter weather it actually works out or not :) Thankyou for looking and the best of luck with your own photography.
Best regards,
Niclas

Thankyou Domjan for looking and commenting. I actually haven't tried HDR imaging yet, but yes I've heard about it and also thought about giving it a try. I'll have to see what programs are available for Mac OSX.
Regards,
Niclas

Photographic rules exist to be broken :)
Even though I often use a 1/3 rule, I like this one the way it is.
BTW, have you tried HDR (high dynamic range) imaging? It's a really fantastic method that enables you to capture both a deep shadow detail and a highlight detail. I discovered it a few days ago and as it is relatively unknown, am trying to spread the word :) Using a tripod you shoot a couple of different exposure photos (2EV apart) to cover the whole dynamic range of the scene. Then you combine these images with a PS CS, Photomatrix or some other HDR enabled software. Using an advanced tone mapping you then 'collapse' the 32bit/chanel HDR image to 8bit while preserving all of the original detail. The results can be fantastic!
Take a look at:

If you are lucky enough to be using Linux, there are a few quite good and free programs for HDR imaging.

Well,
dear Niclas,
one of the most important composition lesson is Not to position horizon in exact middle of the work, because it will make the image two sectional in an unfair way, instead, we better coose a golden position (such as 1/3 up or down of vertical line).
Too much oblique lines make it a liittle busy composition but, the horizontal lines (such as the horizon itself and lines made by clouds) make the composition balanced,
All that I say is in a classic view, you may want it this way, which is really great to me, the tones is superb.
Very well done indeed,
Good luck
Mohammad
