    I like this shot, Cristóbal, and the overall processing is very good. There's one aspect of the picture, though, that nags at me: there's very little of the top outline of the two main cliffs that is clearly defined from the cloudy background. I'd like to see more definition along those outlines. But, honestly, I wouldn't know how to do that. Maybe a little more contrast overall, but I doubt that is the answer. Perhaps some selective dodging along the outlines might work....again, that's something I wouldn't know how to do.

    Probably, most folks don't have the response I have. It's certainly a subjective reaction on my part. In difference to that, however, your photo is a stunner for sure. You should be rightly proud of this one, buddy. I know I would be.

    Take care,

    Tom

    I see your point Tom and I agree it would make it a more pleasing picture, but like you I'm not sure how to go about it. Maybe other Dgrinners can provide assistance. Thank you for your comment, constructive as usual!

    Creating a layer mask of just the sky would be pretty easy here Cristóbal, because of the sharp, definite boundary between rock and sky.
    Then, you could change the tones in just the sky to differentiate the pale rock portion near the edge.... of course, that would alter the appearance of the sky and that might be a creative trade-off.
    Might be worth a try - however, it is a nice shot as is... good work bringing-out the texture in the rock.

    Thanks Eric,

    I might give it a try. I really don't know how to use layers, I only downloaded GIMP a couple of weeks ago. Maybe this is an opportunity to learn.

    Keep well.
