Hey Jim. That was a great morning. I didn't shoot my copy-cat version until about 1/2 hour later when we caught up again (and the color you caught was gone). Still, even my later shot of your innovative scene worked out well. You do have the eye for comps; love it.

Bart


Hey Bart,

Thanks! I am glad you liked this. I know you and Martin were getting some cool stuff down on the other end of the beach. I did try yelling at you guys to come over, but you were just too far away.

Jim

Nice clean comp. I think this would make a nice 1x1 as well.

I appreciate that Dave! And to the others with you on that 1:1 crop idea, I think that is a very good idea, definitely one I will do.

Freaking amazing. The atmospherics came together for you on this. Love the foreground. Really nice. I think I may have let the foreground go just a tad darker though. IDK, I may have brightened it up after seeing it darker. Just feels like it should be a little darker.

Hey Jim,

Thanks! I am glad you liked this one. It was a special morning indeed! The sun was up behind me, and though there were clouds blocking it, which helped direct the color to this side, it was pretty bright out at that point, so I think it's pretty accurate. But I appreciate the thoughts concerning that.

Stupendously beautiful in it's simplicity and clarity.

Awesome shot, Jim!

Those clouds loved you that morning. Beautiful colours on them. Love the composition with the reflection.

Nice image. Well composed and I like the way the sky appears to streak from behind the rock formation.

Comp is awesome sir! What great light. Seems like some retention of details in the highlights might need to be corrected but overall easy. Nice work!

Hey Jim,
This is a superb image. Beautifully crafted comp. and some great lighting. Purely personal taste but if it were mine I'd dial back the saturation in the sky a tad - in particular the blue which seems a bit electric on my mac monitor. In any event a very fine image.

Beautiful Jim. Even thought the sky has amazing color, I would love to see a tighter crop (horizontal?) to make the distant objects more prominent. It just seems that they are so small in the background, they lose a lot of the impact they could have. Love the refelections as well....

Thanks so much Dave. I definitely was trying to be careful with the sky. The colors up there were blowing out easily, so it was like walking a tightrope keeping them bright and not dull looking, but also not letting them blow up too much.

It's a nice shots Jim. I personally think it needs more contrast. Just a touch will do. As of now it looks to me as if it's a smaller version of your raw shot, without anything done to it. Either that or my monitor shows it this way. Essentially it looks like brights can be brighter and dark can be darker without clipping anything.

Hey Greg,

Not sure what you are seeing here, because I can't add anymore contrast, it's had plenty added already. As for the lights and the darks, maybe you need to recalibrate your monitor? My brights and my darks are as much as they can go without blowing out.

As for the Raw, my raw looks like almost all raw images do, dull and lacking contrast. It does not look like this. The whole point of raw files is to the have all the information needed to build the image. Raw images are almost always dull. I am not into over saturating my images, and this one as evidenced by a couple of other comments from others is pushed as far as it can go.

Thanks for your thoughts,

Jim

Colors are quite pretty but the processing is little excessive IMHO
