Default Two Sisters

There's an Native American legend about this place, something about a chief turning his daughters into these two rocks. It's about a 220 degree turn from last night's shot.

I just wanted your thoughts about the composition. Too much sky? Not enough? One thing that's bugging me is that bright spot at the left side of the image. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Again a lovely shot.

Maybe if you cropped lower, above the two sisters in the photograph you would get a sense of communication between the two sisters and the brightly lit sky where the sun is setting. A sense of direction of the light towards the rocks would be implied.

I am all for stretching the possibilites of the camera's sensor as much as possible for getting the shot to look natural but I think that this shot might benefit from an HDR postprocessing and toning to make it look as natural as possible. Or maybe multiple exposure stacking (Enfuse plug-in i LR).

Beautifil shot otherwise. It seems like it was a very productive night!
