thank you Rene! well, guess you'd probably would call that best dusk...I took that shoot about half an hour after midnight, but since this is somewhere around the polar circle this is a time where you have still a lot of light all night through- the season of the midnight sun is probably just about over at that time
and yes, usually I also would put the rocks more somewhere on the thirds, but I guess in this case something left or right just didn't match my taste to frame it differently; another reason might be I took this with a 100mm lens, and probably couldn't go easily to a different position to take the photo from a slighty different angle (it's a bit swampy there
)

Did you have to run this through DCU (siklypix or whatever) first, and then export a TIFF to open in lightroom for further editing? Or straight to lightroom? Wasn't sure if LR did a could job with PS shots straight from their raw files. Thanks!
thank you Eric! this one is processed straight starting in LR...I have a few other shots, where I first made a TIFF in RawTherapy before further processing it in LR, because I noticed some some greenish fragments due to moving water in the frame when using only LR...
overall I must say pixelshift so far gives me really good results, even if there's bit of movement in the landscape- which I know can cause problems/ artefacts due to the way pixelshifting works- but this didn't hold me back trying it on various occassions so far...most artefacts I've gotten so far, when there's flowing water in my frame- even managed to get a pretty decent panoramastitch made of 13 single shots using pixelshift
