p.1 #1 · Mesquite Dunes in DV

Kind of a mixed bag from my last trip with Rick Schump and Alan Lichty. The dune field had not had any significant wind in some time, judging by the plethora of footprints. Also, the clouds were sparse. On the other hand the light was soft. A lot of use of the patch tool to eradicate some of the more heinous tracks. And a bit of a moonrise to boot.

I also favor the second image, Tim.
And bringing out the majestic purple was a swell idea.

Cool stuff, Tim. #2 is my pick as well. Great layered depth in these.

Great atmosphere in these. I also like 2 the most but I think 1 without the bushes would be even better.

Tim,

I love your work. I really do. But this set doesn't work for me. I think mother nature was not cooperating. Just my 2 cents.

Tim: Cool. I really like the last one, with the layers, colors and the moon. The subtle colors have an attraction, as does varied terrain. A set of landscape oriented shots might have made a fine, vertical pano. Well done.

Thanks all. A bit over the top on processing I admit. The light could have been better, but some monochromes coming up where the colors aren't so much out of gamut. Seems like sRGB is kicking my backside.

Hmmm... you keep posting those psychodelic purples... and there will be more than sRGB kicking your butt...

You have some great compositions here Tim, I would start over with the WB on these and start fresh. I think they would be really cool.

P.S. Can you enlarge the moon about 10 times in #3....

At least old Peter Lik seems to think the bigger the better...

I don't get the processing in 1 at all. 3 is the nicest comp, but the processing still seems a bit weird in that one

Tim, The silk purse you ended up with is a far cry from the pigs ear you started with. The last has my vote, love the layers and the moon. Given what we had these are splendid. Rick

Thanks all for your forbearance with my processing.
Jim, I was saving my Peter Lik moonrise for a later date, but this one from the bridge in Zion seems appropriate.

All good Tim. You might want to reprocess the first one, note the halo line across the mountain range top.
