Darkness meets Light

Hey guys!

This one was taken few weeks ago before the sky went dark and lightning display, i think this is one of the rarest sessions i came home with so many different compositions and and pretty high number of keepers.
But i'll let you judge:

I really like the colors and composition, but it seems to me that it needs a black point setting or something as it seems a bit muddy.

That evening was a winner indeed Andrey. I like how the shape of the gray cloud kind of mimics the ground layer.

The long shutter time makes this scene work - satin smooth out on the horizon and nice clear reflections down in front.

I think I can see Ben's muddiness on some of the rock faces at the bottom but it looks like the black point is fine but with an area this dark you would benefit from some additional clarity/contrast on those rocks to bring out a little more texture. Easy to do with a brush tool in Lightroom/ACR.

Nice catch, nice colors and reflections. I might try doing a gradient in the sky to pull the black level a bit, but its a nice picture the way it is.

 

[Leslie Hunter]

Very nice.

Nice work Andrey. You do the area justice, almost like being there. With all the images you've collected, you could do an exhibition.
