From my recent trip to Danmark. We got some pretty nice cloud formations, which made for great sunset photos. I was hoping for a clean sunset to photograph, when a storm came rolling in from the east, giving some spectacular colors in the sky.
Lovely subtlety, with the slightly menacing darker clouds on top contributing interest. You framed a very inviting path through the grasses to the beach.
I wonder what an alternative interpretation would be like with the darker tones lightened just a little, with some contrast added.
Thanks Diane and Dan! My original processing had a brighter FG but I didn't like the contrast it made with the ominous sky. I'll work on an "in between" version!
Hi Jerry, I like the darkness this has. I think the darker foreground works well with the dark storm clouds. THe HDR is nicely done and not overly processed.
Thanks everyone! Here's a reworked version in which I slightly opened up the shadows in the FG. Brightening up further created an unnatural contrast between FG and the sky.
