p.1 #1 · DV - Contrasty vs less Contrasty

I tend to lean towards a little contrasty, but less contrasty is giving up more detail.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Contrasty for sure, IMHO. But then again, I tend to prefer more contrast over less.

Hard to call. I'd say less contrasty, with a bit of the contrasty sky thrown in.

The first might be less natural but I feel it's the stronger image.

I too feel like the 1st one is stronger, therefore I like it a bit more. Nicely done.

1st is my pick. Nice work either way, but I tend to agree with those wanting a bit more contrast (more blacks, more whites) as it pops more....btw, where is this?

Number one is my favorite, but it was hard to tell the difference on my monitor.

Mitch,
I think you need a new blend...dune from #1 with sky from #2. Wonderful work.

Contrasty, but why not recover the shadow detail in the clumps of trees?

I guess I could have. The bushes offered very little in terms of interest to the image IMHO. I intentionally added some vignetting so that the eye would not stop there, but continue to the clouds.

Thanks for the feedback, I can try it that way and see what it does.

RAW file included. Very low contrast to begin with.

You have done a good job with what you started with. I agree a blend of the two should work even better.

Cheers Ray
