Wow, the first image is MONEY. Stunning. Treat it well, print it, sell it, at least put it on a wall somewhere.

That first one is fantastic!
What a day to be there!


Tks Craig and also for especially for all the special tips and information you gave me prior to my visit it really guided me well and helped with the planning. It was one of your earlier posts that really showed me how the timing is critical in these places and I had planned accordingly and hoped for the best. A few days earlier or later and the scene is probably very different.

The first one is sweet! Congrats!
One small suggestion - maybe consider darkening the sky a bit more?


Tks Huibo for your comments and suggestion. I have tried a few variants in the processing and darkening the sky/mountain but not being very successful with pushing the extremities. I need to try again more carefully with perhaps a little TLC in photoshop.

Hey Mohammed,

#1 is really cool looking, though it doesn't look like frost, but a light layer of snow. I think I would pull back the highlights just a slight bit more, my first impression was the peaks were too bright. But still that is one really cool shot.

I like your composition in #2, very nicely framed. And I like the shot, but I would clone out those people on the right. It will take a little bit of work, but I would zap them out of there.

Jim


Hi Jim and thanks for commenting and your suggestions, most appreciated. In the first pic I have tried sliding the highlights further but it did not work very well, will need to spend a little more time on it carefully perhaps in PS and will try a re post soon.

Meantime here is a repost of the 2nd with the zapped distractions...






Edited with people cloned out...

I really like #1 Mohammed. Stunning conditions. I see you did clone the ppl it #1. Good call as they dont add much to the image, for me, in the second.


Tks Scott, I also did the clone edit in the 2nd and have re posted the image. I was not sure how this PS ethic would work but guess in the circumstances there is little choice as it is a crowded location.

#1 is just amazing! Maybe you could remove some of the blue tint in the shadows on the left but otherwise just stunning work!


Thanks your suggestion noted and will try a re work and report soon.

Absolutely loving the contrast between the warm fall colors versus the deep blues of shadows, ...although I wish they were a little darker and less perfectly HDR'd.

Tks Mattew and noted your comments, may are asking me to darken the image a little I will have to work on that and repost soon.

Agree, with the above that the 1st is super but also think that it is a touch too bright. Glad you got to see this area at its best.


Tks will try to darken and repost soonest
