It seems that your original image may have clipped the whites. Many green and red values are the same. I treid to add some contrast and bring out more detail in the bright snow. I also toned down green a bit
so that the green and red values we not identical. I did all this the selections and curves. What do you think?
Roger, those whites were bothering me too. I think your repost is better contrasts. those lines in the snow that look like skiing lines but of course could not be are more evident with the repost. Norm, I am wondering why you have iso of 800?
Thanks, Roger, for your critique and the repost. I like it.
To try to improve detail in the white areas, I gently applied Nik Color Efex Pro Tonal Contrast, with the result shown here.
Finally, for Hazel, my primary interest at the time was photographing birds following the ship. I used the relatively high ISO to gain shutter speed for that reason, and chose not to lower it for the landscape image.
Nice scene. I like Roger's repost, yours is also better but I would remove some cyan from the whites and add more contrast.
I wish there was a sliver more at the foot of the image.
Hi Norm, apologies for getting to this one a little late...a very nicely composed scene and Roger's repost addresses many of my initial thoughts from the original post. I do like your repost as well but like Anette feel just a touch more contrast is needed. Keep 'em coming!
