Stormy Clouds

Here is an IR shot with my D40X, 18-135mm at f/6.3, 1/500, ISO 200 at 58mm. :D

You caught some good action here, Shellie! I love the brown tones you've chosen for this image. (I'd never know it was an IR - thought it was a sepia or chocolate action that you used!)

I love your composition but would like to see those lightest tones differentiated from the darker ones just a little bit more. Have you thought about playing with your curves or levels sliders just a bit more to pull those tones out into a wider range? Either that or you might try burning and dodging just a bit to pull them further away from each other and really draw out all that drama!

Thank you Julie, I will try this out later....can't do it right now becasue it might take me a while...LOL...still learing CS3!

[Alfred Forns]

Fully agree with Jules and would suggest cropping a little from the bottom? Might strengthen the image !!! Excellent !!!
