Clouds in the East

[Judy Howle]

Clouds at sunset, made this week. 5D 2, ISO 250, f4.5, 1/60s.

Hi Judy, the pano crop works well and I like how you divided the comp. Just enough shore area and reflection with the angry sky being the dominant factor. I thought about lightening it just a small bit but that might hurt the mood the image emanates if overdone. However, I do like it as is. Another dramatic sunset in the collection!

Judy - more dramatic light. I like the comp of this one but am not a fan of all the debris in the fg. Not sure if there was anything you could do to avoid it. Btw what lens were you using?

TFS,
Rachel

Thanks Dave. You are right it is too dark. I reworked it and used Levels to lighten it and then I used tonal contrast at 75% opacity and it looks snappier now. I also removed some of the foreground debris by cropping, airbrushing and cloning.

Thanks Susan. Yes, I don't like the debris either and I removed some of it by cropping a little off the bottom, airbrushing and cloning. I used the 24 - 105 lens.

Hi Judy, IMO...well done!

Thanks Dave!

Definitely like the RP; now pls give it a tweak of CCW - just a tweak.

The recrop and rework gets you there Judy.
