    Default Light and Shadow

    Worked on some older shots. Wasn't sure about this one, I like the contrast and crazy directions the lines and elevations are taking. Also it is perfectly straight and doesn't need a CCW rotation, that is the angle at which the mountain in the distance rises. Want to know if this image works for you guys or not (working on adding images to my new website). Also what looks like posterization up top is a really faint cloud.

    A nice play of light and shadow and diagonals, Dvir.
    I'd like to see a tad more detail in the shaded side without losing the "contrast"? And I'd burn the shadows on the sand ripples some more too.

    Works for me Dvir... especially the patterns in the sand. Would work better with the added detail Morkel refers to, and without the footprints. It does look like it needs a heap of CCW rotation, so will this work against you as a website inclusion??

    I like the contrast, if you brought the shadow up it would ruin it for me.
    There is enough detail.
    It also looks level to me.

    Here is an updated version. Did a darks mask, and a darker mask subtracted them from each other and then burned through the mask the shadowy areas. Also added a bit of midtone contrast.

    Hi Dvir, my only suggestion was going to be lighten the shadows a touch, which you have done in the repost and it works very well. Nice work!

    I like both posts, Dvir. I like the little bit of added tonal contrast in the sand on the second post.
