image thread 5-26-10 in landscapes. (I had been isolated from every connection for 9 days). Just to see whether the PP treatment (in Nikon Picture) has worked. Data: zoom 1 sigma 17-35 f4 1/20 OEV +0,5 mtering medium ap. priority ISO 320 difficult to remind all the passages but certainly: Brightness 50 contrast 25 midtones 20 Exposition +0.19 the sharness is treated in 'contrast mask'.
valerio, the composition looks great to me and the mood just over the top. there seems to be something a little funky going on at parts of the river edge. bright edges? and the overall image seems soft. were you using a tripod? i think with a little more work, this thing would really shine!!!
Love the composition. Layering effect is effective, woul try having detail in te shadows without turning to much. Btw posting from iPad so not sure about density calibration
Hi Valerio, I remember looking at this or something similar. The river acts as a good leading line with the fog adding an element of mood.
Agree with Harold that there is a whitish border running along the bottom left edge(some on the right) of the river. I don't know where that came from. Would have wanted a bit more detail pulled out of the dark forest area and more contrast in the sky.
I would remove the reeds and small island on the bottom.
Finally. I'm wondering if the image might need some CW rotation. Im referring to the mountain on the right...
I love the mood and the composition. Whether intentional or not, the softness gives it a vintage quality that is attractive. Bright spots along the river edge and elsewhere are very distracting and could be removed without too much effort.
