    Default Topaz Spicify

    The background sunset was the last pano I took, just before leaving for the airport (8 hour drive), when I processed it I just found the right side lacking, so I added in the rock pinnacles...boosted the saturation and added the spicify effect in Topaz.

    What do you think??
    It looks a little bluish on my laptop but not on my home machine...
    Tomorrow I'll post the same image only with a different effect...

    Thanks for looking

    I think it's lovely, Paul! I especially like that we have such a distinctive foreground, middle ground and BG. They all work so well together to bring the viewer a really nice perspective on a beautiful scene.

    Paul, Beautiful colors and view! I like the way you composed this one. I might try to remove the pale halo around the rocks if it were mine. Nice looking image

    As mentioned, great colors, and the i think the addition of the pinnacles gives a sense of greater depth.

    Dramatic! Wonderful colors and composition. The two sides balance each other nicely, with my eye going from one to the other, neither dominating.

    Beautiful composition, Paul. The rock pinnacle works well in the overall composition. I would have preferred to darkened the pinnacle a bit to match with the overall sky, if it were mine. Excellent processing; I would not have guessed the addition of the rock!

    That is a very nice composition, Paul. Great light, colors, and all the elements fit together well. Well done!

    I like the bluish tints. The addition of rocks on the right gives depth--good touch.

    Hi Paul, nice colors and scenery and I like the added geology. Hazel said just what I was thinking about the added dimensionality. Nice work!
