93 Sep 25 Reply *dehaze slider Sep 22nd
93 Sep 25 Reply Try the dehire slider a bit, I have been liking that a lot when processing the sun lately. Sep 21st
93 Sep 25 Reply Thanks for the suggestion Ed, I can see how that would bring the eye in a bit more to focus on the waterfall. Sep 21st
93 Sep 25 Reply Thanks Darcy, it's quite beautiful for sure. Sep 21st
93 Sep 25 Reply Thank you Tom, appreciate it Sep 21st
93 Sep 25 Reply Thanks Francois, Looking at it again, I feel it's a tad too blue, but it was the blue hour, so there's that :D Sep 21st
93 Sep 25 Comment Tom,
I like all the lines in this image. I agree with Ed and Darcy that the sun is a bit too prominent. I hope you don't mind, but I took a crack at editing this to highlight the lines and color. For the sun, I did a radial filter and decreased dehire, clarity and texture. I also decreased the highlight a tiny bit and accentuated the sun stars. I also highlighted the green hill in the bottom right to highlight how the light was hitting it. I did a few more local adjustments to the path and the obelisk as well.

93 Sep 25 Comment I like how you framed the rock on the right with the smaller rock and movement of the waves on the left side. The rock feels like it's just a tad too far away, did you consider cropping the foreground a bit, just to cut out the small rock in the right corner? I think that might make it a more intimate image with the rock and that huge cloud.

That large cloud is pretty cool and it feels like it's enveloping the image, but I feel that the right side of it is a tad too dark to my eye and might help if it was lightened a tiny bit to show some of the details in the cloud.

93 Sep 25 Comment Great luck with no direct light here, I think that helped with the image.

As we all know, editing an image is a personal thing and we could all edit things differently to show the same image in a different way. I don't think I'd crop the foreground, I like it in your original image as to my eye, it adds a bit more depth. Also, this is a nit for sure, but that big 'ol leaf on the rock is draws my eye in and I get stuck on it a bit.

I think I'd add a gradual filter to the waterfall to try to highlight that a bit more by adding white and decreasing dehaze a bit. and perhaps take a brush to the smaller falls at the top to keep my eye moving on them with similar adjustments.

Curious why you had such a high ISO using a ND?

93 Sep 25 Comment Hi Bob, I think you succeeded in your intent here. I like the layers from the darker foreground to the lighter sky. To my eye, I don't think you need the top 1/4 to 1/3 of the image and could crop it a bit. I think that this might help emphesize the layers even more. It may be my screen, but is seems a tad too green? Perhaps add a tiny bit magenta and add a tiny bit of blue? Sep 11th
93 Sep 25 Comment Beautiful color! I like that you cropped out the foreground from the original framing. I also understand your approach in processing. I like the silhouettes of the people on the beach as well. Given it's an image with the sun highlighted, I think that your exposure in your original is a bit more organic and shows the reflection on the ocean a bit better than your edited version, even though the rock is there, I think it still works.
