    Hi Harshard,

    Looks a great spot. As I was thinking about what to write, I scrolled down through the photo, and chopped off about half the sky (particularly most of the blown out parts in the upper parts of the photo). The photo then looked a lot more interesting, highlighting the green grassland in the middle of the photo, the two bands of brown grassland on either side, and the mountains in the background are more prominant. Not sure if you have considered a panoramic sytle photo for this scene, but I think that would work better to me. Thanks for sharing the photo.

    The tree to lower right is a great feature in the photo. nicely placed.

    Chris

    Hi Harshad, Interesting scene with a well placed tree. I like Chris' idea regarding a pano crop. The image lends itself to that and would accentuate the tree. Would have preferred a straighter foreground only that it's giving the illusion that the image needs to be rotated...

    Hey Harshad,
    Wondering if the blown whites were done in PP'ing? If you can recover them, then I think you can go with either the OP presentation or Chris's pano comp. I may have preferred a touch more base.....but all in all nicely composed. I have been to Tarangieri many times myself! It is a wonderful place!

    I have to agree on a pano crop. There is too much sky and the bottom portion has all the interest, at least to my eyes. My favorite part of this photo is the tree in the bottom RHC.

    Hi Harshad, I know you don't like too much manipulation but I thought I would show how the image could look with a tweak. I selected the blown areas and used content aware fill. One can't be too sure of what you will get and in this case it filled with clouds and sky. I like the pano crop...
    Excuse the PS work...I did it quickly.

    I feel the CW rotation is needed to remove the upwards tilt look of the image Harshad. Dave's CAF correction is what was needed to cure the blown out clouds. In the field, this is solved with use of a split neutral density filter or two image exposure - one for sky, one for ground and merge in post-processing.

    Harshad, I prefer the pano crop. Also, like how Dave handled the sky and agree with Robert on the rotation. I prefer to use the split neutral density filters in these situations. Looks like a beautiful place.

    Pano !!! Lee Soft ND filter ( 0.6 ) would assist greatly in balancing the exposure a bit more !
