What do you think. I have mixed feeling. The scene was real nice to view, but I'm not sure I did it justice. Particularly in the processing. Canon 20d, ISO800(gave it some graininess), f11, 1/400, 77mm.
Well composed and executed JB,
I like the solitary tree as an anchor point in this panorama...the fog and haze sparks a tranquil, peaceful mood...congrats...looking forward to more...:cool:
Beautifully done. I don't think it matters whether you did the original scene justice. Only you were there. Being a native Virginian, I know the Shenandoah Valley very well, and this is a wonderful rendition of just one of its countless moods.
I love the soft, muted tones in this image. Your foreground, middleground and background are all great and complement each other nicely. Being able to see the layers in the mountains is a huge plus. I might consider cropping a little off the bottom. Very well done.
Well JB,
You nailed this one! You could go more with H/S or even with contrast.........but that IMO would take away from the mood and feel. The tree placement is perfect and for me....I wouldn't crop as it may take away from the subtle lighting at the grass area. Frame it! Hang it! Very nicely done!
Beautiful composition. I wonder if your mixed feelings about rendition might be resolved by lightening the fog areas and darkening the foreground to accentuate the streams of fog and ridge line. The histogram shows that the sky being much brighter than the fog crammed your exposure rendering the fog a middle gray. I sometimes use a B&W layer to view the tones while burning and dodging.
So lighten up?
