Monolake morning

[Jameel Hyder]

Again from my recent trip. This one is a day earlier than my previous shot. The light was more subdued. The mountains in the west were cloud covered. This is looking NE.

Comments welcome.

Pretty cool Jameel! You have some nice light and clouds in this. I kind of wish you had a few less clouds and more of the ground where that bit of land locked water can reflect more of the tufa's for some cool reflection foreground interest. But I do see why you included the clouds you did as they do balance the sky very well.

Actually I do have more ground along with the cloud which I cropped due to the slushy looking ground. I'll include that as well so see if that works better. Perhaps another approach here is to do some cloning.

I like the second one too, Jameel.

I prefer the first, too bad teh watre level was not higher to cover that mud and provide a nice full reflection.

I prefer the second one with the extra reflections. Nice conditions. The shore line isn't perfect but that's the reality of what was there.

Beautiful I like the snow in this! I agree with the slushee ground but I do like the reflection in the updated one.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Worked on a compromise between the two by doing some cloning. Personally I like this, would love to see what others think.

 

[Ben Egbert]

Yes, this is better.

 

[JimFox]

Well, while I was off running errands you have certainly come up with a really sweet shot Jameel! Love the added foreground, the reflections really make this scene come alive.

Great job on going back and making it work!

Congrats on the Daily Featured Post Jameel!

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Thanks Jim, appreciated.

I like the final, cleaned up version quite a bit. Having the extra reflections is nice. I'd potentially consider cropping some off of the right as well.

 

[MonikaC]

I like the 3rd one as well. The reflections add to it & balance it nicely, particularly with the cleaned up water. I agree with Kyle on the right side crop: maybe so that the mud peninsula comes about 2/3 of the way across the frame?

 

[Bob Denton]

A worthy Featured post.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Kyle/Monika, will look into your suggestion of the crop. Thanks.
