I like the exposure here. Did you try a few others as a comparison?

The scene here is very moody and I like the movement of the clouds. Kind of has a aurora effect.

I tried underexposing for a silhouette effect but I guess this one matches the mood. I'll be keeping this one. No need to post process. Thanks.

No need to post process? You would be amazed at how much better you could make this image with the proper PP.

Yes sir. I'll be trying to submit this one to NatGeo MyShots and they won't be accepting edited pictures that's why I'm keeping this one untouched right off the camera.

I like it as is. In fact, I've made note of your exif data and plan to use it tomorrow morning on a scene I've scouted in the past.

Some of us tend to over-tweak, during the post-processing end of things. Always wanting to bump it up another notch, when leaving it as is might be the best result.

The exposure is perfect as are the colours! Well done! Good technique and no need for PP!
