First post for critique

I went to Zakopane in Poland in Jan 2010. It was my first visit to a ski resort. I bought my Nikon 17-55mm f2.8 just before the trip. I started taking pictures on manual mode, but I was so excited seeing some nice landscape, I forgot to alter the aperture for few shots taken from this spot. It was very dark, I increased the light using Photoshop.
Camera D300
Aperture - f/22
SS - 1/160
ISO - 200
Focal Length - 17mm

Thanks for looking

Welcome!
Nice image. The low clouds adds an interesting feel. I don't know what all post work you did but I would say you were successful. I might punch up the the clouds and sky on the left to better balance the right and make it a bit brighter but thats me. Nice work!

Very tallented sky writer!

Seriosuly, lose the watermark or move it to one of the corners as it is runing the image.

As for the image as a whole did you desaturate the lower section? It looks like a selective colour image which is very distracting as it make you look at the processing rather than the image as a whole and prevents you from enjoying the scenery.

It does throw everything off...

My opinion is the colors are pretty good, but i would have moved my composition up a bit as the bottom left corner isnt doing any justice... can fix with a simple crop off the bottom

Hi Zona5101, thanks for the comment
I have uploaded the original version of the picture, you can see its very dark.

I have also uploaded a version without the watermark. I know the watermark not doing any good there.
Thanks for all your comments
Thanks

Nice work on the PP, unfotunately there isn't a lot of detail in the mountains but from the original dark shot it's a good save.
Normally the rule of thirds would apply to a landscape shot, with the horizon on the top or bottom third line, but I quite like the horizon where it is. Nice work.
