No, it's supposed to have equilibrium in exposure. As ricky336​ says, your blacks are really to black.

But there are additional problems:


  • Your sensor has dust. That needs to be cleaned out (easy here)...
  • Here is an other smirk which is much more difficult to edit out:

    It may be part of the picture's clouds, but it looks disturbing.

  • I could not find the focus everything is washed out. Did you noise reduction on this? The picture has been taken with ISO1600 but a exposure of 2000/s and an aperture of 9.
    ISO should be 100, exposure would be around 125, you could get down with the aperture if you want to push exposure.

thanks for the tips, about the dust and the exposure time, this picture was taken from inside of a moving car, the dust is actualy dirt from the car window.

Hello,

Your blacks are too solid, especially in the bushes on the right side and for this type of photo.
