Hi all,
This was taken from a set I posted earlier this week under the photo gallery. Although the framing was, in my opinion, less desirable than the other two photos, I figured I would take this shot and post the composition involved. This one had the best dynamic range for the entire frame, and I was able to bring out more detail in the shadows without "cooking" any part of the shot.

All C&C is welcome.

Tastes differ, but I probably would have done something like this to retain a bit more shadow detail. One more bracket with more detail in the shadows would have been good in any case.

Yes, I totally agree, and there is nothing wrong with any style. I prefer to use bracketing to represent the scene how I saw it at the time, and there was less detail in the foreground. But nothing wrong with bringing out more detail if that is what one likes and prefers.
