Happy New Year everyone!

Sharing one of my year-ender shots. Had to ride a small outrigger boat to get to this spot

What do you think of the exposure, is it ok or under? I was trying to underexpose it a bit to add some peaceful mood to the photo. The photo is ok on my monitor (with my desired exposure) but it had overly deep shadows when viewed on my smartphone. I haven't had my monitor calibrated yet so I'm not sure in which display the photo shows correctly.

Great shot I just wish i could see the rocks. It does seem dark on my TV. .. but its a TV. Seems like a good place to shoot!

I'd say it's a bit underexposed as well, and my monitor works fine. The photo is great otherwise, but draw those highs up a bit!

I like it. It is a little dark on my calibrated monitor, but it is still not that bad an image - it is a sunset after all. You didn't tell us any technical information, exposure, etc., so it is hard to advise you on what to do. I would guess that it is underexposed by about 1/2 to 1 stop. If you shot this in raw, then it may not be too hard to compensate for this slight underexposure in post-processing.
