Reduce the amount of space at the top of the image, remove the tent tops (distracting), reduce the blue tint, more fill light on the boy. There is some severe chromatic abberation (purple fringing) around the boy that is difficult to remove. Also, in my opinion, the planes are too far away...

What camera and lens was used to take this?

...that is round? i.e. screw on?

I know the Cokin and Lee systems are drop in and I know they must be better.

But is a round screw on just a horrible waste of time or worth it for this "below amateur status just learning" photographer?

btw - apparently there is a worldwide shortage of these filters! wow.

A screw-in graduated ND filter is really an effort in futility. When you're using a grad ND, you want to position the transition area of the filter over the dividing line between the bright and dark areas of the composition. If you're doing a landscape this is usually the horizon line between the sky and land.

The intention of the grad ND is to hold back the sky and make the exposure a bit more even across the entire image. It's easier to get the filter in the proper position if it can be slid up and down in the holder and also rotated, which the Lee and Cokin holders do...
