first off I find your image composition very compelling. I see huge potential in it. For my tastes it may be just a bit under exposed and lacking in contrast, things which can easily be improved in post processing. Increasing the exposure slightly and selectively in various areas of the photo will add drama and really make this great composition pop.
Well said. As I continue to learn these low light / slow exposure techniques it will greatly improve. Your correct, it is underexposed, and adding in more shadow and cropping out much of the black foreground will enhance it greatly. Thank you for the valuable input.

I soon discovered that. Learning that it is more important to have a accurate capture from the camera then spend unnecessary time in post. Very valid point. Thanks

I personally love this image. Don't ever let anyone tell you that it's important to shoot a perfectly exposed shot to keep post processing to a minimum. Exposure, like filters, of fill flash or shutter speed are simply tools that you use to get the image you want. There are a lot of us who purposely underexpose especially on a bright day with a high sky in order to be able to pull out more detail in the sky. There are many reasons to underexpose and if it is your intent based upon knowledge or experimentation, then go for it. That, my friend, is how we all learn. Keep up the good work.
