Trying to find new landscapes...

[Lovin]

Right now I don't have too much time for photography, and I'm trying to find something. I'm carrying my camera with me almost all the time.
Ok, here is one of my latest attempts:

Nice mood and hues in this one ! Good job, the only thing I would do is
crop the sky in half horizontally so you get a 1/3 comp insted of a 50/50.
The 1/3 comp with give the photo a more artistic look to it. Everythnig else
looks great, color, exposure, contrast etc.

Take care,

Agree with D.O - sky crop needed. I might also lighten the highlights on the water a bit.

Wow, I can't believe it. I thought it's a crap.
I like that tone too, that's why I post it here, but that's just the only thing.
Ok, I croped the sky, now is 1/3 of the picture, but this is the maximum of highlights I can add.

Thank you guys, you saved my day :)

Good crop - I MAY have left another 1/4 inch of sky.


.... but this is the maximum of highlights I can add.


Huh? :confused:
You could easily 'dodge' those highlights some more should you choose to.
A down and dirty way in PSHOP is choose white - choose paintbrush (soft) choose soft light from the blending menu and an opacity of around 4%. Then just paint in the areas.
Hope that helps
