Monument Valley

[Teresa Gilbert]

Had the opportunity to pass through a few weeks ago. Love this shot, but has haze to it. I've been playing around in LR with the adjustment brush to darken/dehaze. I've chosen to post the image as WIP, to get thoughts, suggestions, etc to see if I'm on the right track. Adjustments made to left side of image... Thanks.

Haze is hard to remove. Have you considered posting a SOOC on the critique forum for us to work?

The combination of haze and the sun angle is going to make this one difficult to edit. I do like the PoV looking down the highway.

Will be happy to.

Your work on the left side of the image is an nice improvement, but the results might be to dark compared to the foreground...
Comp-wise the shot works, roads and paths are usually appealing, as a way through the scene and the inherent longing for the open road that some of us are infected with.

Will be happy to.

Hi Teresa, just follow Bens instructions in the Top Thread in the Critique Forum titled "How to Upload Photos for Critique"

There are a few steps involved, but Ben walks you through it in there.

Done.

I know that view, and I would use the haze, not lose it, to add to the sense of distance out in the desert, especially with the monoliths in Monument Valley. Haze is a natural phenomena that is useful at times.

Done.

I don't see it in the critique forum?
