Ok PC friends, I have another request for you. I have included an edited sunrise from Africa that I shot last spring, and for reference, I included the SOOC shot. I'd ask and welcome alternative edits and views. Take a shot, rip it apart, you won't hurt my feelings.

I liked yours just fine, but you asked so I did my own version. I tried a 16x9 crop but decided to leave it as shot.

The mist in your edited shot is too blue. The colors in Ben's version are more realistic, but adding back a little of the blue may help the morning vibe of the shot.

Also, cropping out the bottom clutter was a plus. It's a bit distracting in Ben's.

Beautiful image.
I like yours, but prefer the more natural colors in Ben's.
Here is a BW/subtly toned interpretation.
At least in my hands, I think the color wins out at better able to show the subtle transitions, low contrast background and mood.

I love this forum for the different interpretations that everyone brings. Thank you all for your contributions. Oddly, in my rendition, I did not add any blue, only used the de-haze slider in lightroom. While it might not have been my first choice, I liked the way it came out.

Feel free to keep trying 😀

Decided to mess around with a mono version outside of my normal workflow.

Might work, might not.

What it does accomplish is make me want to return to Africa posthaste!

Cheers,

Jeff

Jeff,

While I generally prefer color images, your image reminds me of an old African movie scene. Ironically, the place we stayed was part of the set for the movie "I Dreamed of Africa." And to be clear, I want to go back immediately as well!

We ALL want to go back!
I prefer Jeff's BW over my monotone, BTW.
Let's see more Africa, Bob

Man, I have a hard time not converting Africa pics to mono. Something about it just feels *right* to me.

Scott tends to fall into the same camp as well.

Apparently the urge to go back is nothing new and seems to grip every person who visits!

Took some liberties on some tweaks. Could use some more refinement for balancing, but hopefully you get the gist.

BTW, don't forget to swing by and pick me up the way back over. Hmmm, maybe we should have an FM sponsored group tour.
