There is just something so captivating about seeing masses of water forcing its way through the Orange River gorge in the arid landscape of the Northern Cape of South Africa.
Hi Elmar, Yes, there is more contrast within the image. It appears a bit more saturated but I feel this is a matter of taste with no true right or wrong since it doesn't seem over done...
was this with the recent flood Elmar? love that place, a landscaper's dream.
I like what Dave has done and even like your repost. Good perspective from the lookout point with the best view of the entire falls and background.
Hi Elmar,
Both re-posts work as far as color and as far as color tone.....I may prefer your warmer tones....but as Dave said....personal taste. Compositionally I like the way you have the bowl on a diagonal and the way the rocks frame it. Just the right amount of sky to keep it balanced. Very nicely done!
I too like this for the reasons mentioned. When I see rocks with detail I think Local Contrast Enhancement. BG copy with USM at 50/20/0 will make the rocks pop.
