Cany143,
Great photo. With so many possibilities these days I am forced to ask if this was a composite and what photo editing software you used. I hope this is not too intrusive but I am just trying to learn what folks are being creative with.
Thanks,

Beautiful light, detail, color, composition, etc. That's all!

Gorgeous lighting, lots of strength, and still beautifully simple. Wouldn't change a thing.

Not really "a shot" since it is a composite made up of several, n'cest pas?

Primarily, I used Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC. May have added a touch or two of something with Google NIC (often enough, an HDRed layer with its opacity decreased to 10-20% gets me where I want to go) as well, but I don't record my steps, and my workflow usually runs something like, 'needs more of this or less of that,' and I utilize whatever software that'll get the job done as efficiently as possible. And no, its not a composite. It is, however, rather heavily cropped from the original. Using a 300mm lens, I was still a good ways off from the ravens/juniper tree, and uncropped, the shot would have been almost subjectless. I concur with Aristotle: if some element doesn't belong, or doesn't further the work, eliminate it.

First post here. Looking forward to discussions.

Hi, Cany,

First, welcome to UHH; good to see you here and I hope we will see more of your work.

Now...your first post here...you picked a dilly!
This is one impactful, stop-the-gallery-stroller-in-mid-stride, arresting image!
Technically excellent, and compositionally intriguing with the low perspective with depth recession trending upward...very imaginative.
...and ravens perfectly placed and that rainbow...My God, man, does the Cosmic dispenser of good fortune dump it’s goodies on you like this very frequently? If so, I wanna go shootin’ with you!

Great to have you here, Cany!
Looking forward to return visits.

Best regards,
Dave

Dave-- Wow. Thanks. But let's keep things in perspective. Its just a photograph, and it'll be forgotten soon enough. With regard to the timing and placement and such, while I may not get any better fortune than anyone else, I do have the luxury of living in a place where I can be in some pretty interesting places pretty quickly. Beyond that, its a matter of watching the sky, and seeing/deciding whether the conditions are those that best suit me. Oh, and all those years I spent studying ravens didn't hurt either; all it took for me to have them pose was a full bag of Cheetos, the keys to my Jeep, and a broken shoelace. Easy peasy.
