    Default skyline arch

    This is a lovely image of a great place, Roman, but I wonder how it would play as more of a pano, with less of the clouds. I feel that there is so much interesting about the land, yet my eyes keep rising into the sky. I was thinking a pano might emphasize the landscape in more ways than one, keeping the viewer there, and replicating the length of the landscape in the image. Love the colors. Congrats!

    Hi Roman, I like how this was handled because to my eye it's a bit different. This arch naturally lends itself to a pano which I have done and I'm sure so has Roman so Ron is on track with his suggestion. In this case (getting into Roman's head:cool:) he was trying something different and I feel it works. The tree on the right is a strong element along with the late light. IMO the sky holds enough interest to command that much space....

    Very nice; I would crop just above the two diagonal clouds on the LHS making it into a pano.

    I like this crop as many of the clouds appear to be the same angle as the arch. I am sure Roman has the pano version and think it would work as well.

    Tree on right balances with the arch really well.

    Hey Roman,

    Love it as is, if you shot it as a pano that would be a bonus, but I think works just as well. If it were mine I might be tempted to run a touch tonal contrast on the clouds to give them even more impact.

    this has to be a lesson in composition, Roman...well balanced and gorgeous colours...was ISO-100/200 not possible without too much cloud movement?

    Great catch Morkel!!!! I chose ISO 400.....because the clouds were moving extremely fast!.....otherwise I almost always opt for ISO 100! I chose my ISO now......by how fast the clouds are moving and what effect I want!
