Of the 3 versions you posted, I like the first/original version best - as it's visually appealing to me. "Natural" does not work for me 90% of the time in landscape photos like this one because of the high contrast with very deep shadows, flat or lackluster color, etc, etc. I am of the opinion that one should edit/massage an image to make it look the way you want it to look. Photography is an art form, so you can be as creative as you want. You are no different to any painter/artist. Make your photos look as good as they can would be my approach. ...Show more →

Thanks Bobby - That's the beauty of not shooting for someone else! At the end of the day I will print what my mind's eye wants to portray.

Nice! Good to see an image that's not over-processed.

Thanks - and that seems to be a delicate balance these days!

This shot has so many things going for it. It is one you can study for more than a few seconds and as you look you find more things of interest and beauty.
Very nice!

Thanks Greg. I guess good pictures go in two general directions - a single subject that pops into your face or a picture that is more complex that you can daydream into to. I was hoping for the latter in this pic. Glad you liked it.

Lovely composition there, my personal preference is for the 2nd version, which has a nice earthiness to it, vs. the more glowing 1st and 3rd. I think the biggest selling point of the 2nd is the mountains look much better brown than blue. Definitely a keeper.
Very good point. . . thanks!
