I like the toning and general composition here Boofers, but there is a bit of a void in the middle of the image. Do I detect some fiddling with the 'clouds'?

I've been scrolling the picture up and down and I think it actually works better if you scroll it down until what looks like the 'river banks', but I suspect is actually just the higher ground meets the corners of the frame, making a letterbox crop. I know this cuts out your carefully placed forground detail, but sometimes you have to make the ultimate sacrifice.

This was a hand held 3 exposures,,I wanted to see if it moved, your right there isn't much there and I ended up with this. The fiddle in the skys, the original pic had a blue sky with very light misty cloud blowing in,,so I suspect that it looks that way from 3 exposures, very interesting point. I only put it up because I don't tint pic's very often, maybe should have moved it to photo sharing.

Three images hand-held?

RESPECT. Did they have to check you for a pulse afterwards?
