Gotcha ... good to hear. Just wondering @ tilt vs. stopping down farther than necessary.
+100 @ camera doesn\'t do it justice and it needs \"assistance\" to render it conceptually to what we experienced. As you have pointed out (which I aspire also) the desire for realism ... I extend that to \"plausible realism\". It may not have been exactly that ... but it certainly could have been given the ever changing lighting conditions of such a cloud filled sky for example.
As to the redo ... the mountain tops were a touch of \"artistic representation\" ... @ cloud filtered lighting to try to give it a bit more definition / depth / modeling / etc. A more detailed study would have ensured that the angles of lighting and areas of darkening were appropriately correct ... but hopefully people get the gist @ the diff without losing the concept for the nit ... but I certainly understand your preferences otherwise.
I knew it was a bit of a departure, but this is only for illustration of concept ... not to be confused with trying to say it is right or wrong. To that end, it does get presented a little \"over the top\" @ times. Anyway, good stuff ... we\'re all just trying to offer up \"food for thought\" because you\'ve got some nice captures here. Cool to hear that you\'ve got \"some ideas\" as a takeaway ... cause that\'s kinda the whole point @ this forum. Looking forward to seeing how you incorporate your ideas.
BTW ... I used shoot chromes only and was such a \"purist\" that I have even told Ansel Adams son (in person) how I used to feel that his dad \"cheated\". Today, I have somewhat synthesized my purist and artist, hopefully toward \"plausible realism\" ... if that makes any sense.
As always, S&P to taste.
