This is another shot taken this summer. I love this location where there are flowers up close and mountains miles away. Canon 20D, 10-22mm @ 10mm, 1/60 @ f16, ISO 400, -2/3 EV, Tripod
Joanna, I like this composition with some great layering here.
I was going to say it needs more contrast, but when I pulled it up in LR (on 2nd monitor) I was very happy with how it looks, it's just a little flat on my laptop main screen.
boo yaa!! i like how all the elements come together here! wondering if the sky would look a little better a little darker and with a bit more contrast? great job either way!
Hi Joanna,
I love the way you compose things........with the strong FG elements and the distant mtns. It will be my mission from now on.......to get you to purchase a grad ND........so that your first image will look like the re-post I did. This is the perfect time to use the grad ND........shaowed FG and lighter sky. My repost would be close to what you would get with the filter. I multiplied seperate layers on the middle ground mtns.......at low opacity.....and then the sky at 100%. Finally....a local contrast adjustment of 20/40/0 in USM.
The comp is very stong and i love your use of the flowers in the FG without clipping the edges.
Roman: You are right....I have purchased one, but this was before I listened to you. Yes, it does pop alot more. Thanks everyone for your critiques! It's hard to take a bad shot in the Colorado Mts.
