I suspect the gray mountains appear to people less intense because the people are highly saturated and really POP.
This photo is so immediate that I felt like I was there, or at least I wanted to be there with them.
I find the man's face to be too red, probably from the high saturation, and it draws my eyes in a way that detracts from the mountains. This is the first time I have seen Georgia, though I met a man from there in 1991 while in Moscow. He was studying for some exams with a professor I stayed with.
I'm looking forward to more of your images. |

Beautiful sky and water and love the details on the pier. The couple look just like all of us in America, so I also didn't get that it was a Cuban photo. We all see the old cars and run down buildings and colorful people in the streets as Cuba. Cliche' but real too as they are caught in a time warp of sorts. My husband and I would love to go, but now travel is restricted so lucky YOU to jump in ahead of the bans.
This is beautiful. I like your story and if showing it in a slideshow you narrate, you can share that story also. |

Lovely photo, and so atmospheric! I see what Hassan means about the sky as far as there is a lot OF it. It takes up half the photo. hmmmmm, this is tough because I love all the hills and mists and wouldn't want to loose any of that. The sun adds interest to the blankness of the sky, so great to have it. Not sure I would change anything. I looked at several crops, like chopping off on the left after the big hunk of bushes, and a little of the top but I'm not sure that makes this lovely image improved in any way. Nice capture!

Gorgeous shot, and I didn't even know you could get this with HDR, what with the flowing water and all.
So, I'm impressed with your expertise in editing. And envious too!
I agree with Mike in that I would LOVE to see more of the scene as its so stunning! I seem to be very "exclamation pointy" this morning.
What i noticed was that it looks a bit crooked to me. I wanted to get the straighten tool out and make the top of the photo, like the rock face on the right be at a different angle. This may be because of the lens, I know mine will bend on the edges, giving me paralax in wide angle. I have never had a 10mm lens myself, wow, that is truly wide angle.
I know photoshop has distort tool which can warp the sides out. I have only used it once long ago and can't give any advice on that.
But I love your photo, and now want to go shoot an HDR waterfall myself. But probably won't get around to it. |

Gee, two of you in New Mexico this time! Great details on the sage for sure. A very centered image which absolutely draws my eye up to the sky, as the sage leads me back and the mountain points to the sky. Sooooo, I'd like to see you add more drama to the sky, probably by adding a neutral density filter to just the sky area, and possibly you'd need to include the mountain as it sticks up into the sky.
I think the sky needs to be as powerful as your sage, since that's where you are pointing us.
You might be more a natural type of guy though, many of my friends are "straight out of camera" shooters. I'm just saying what I, personally, would do to this.

Lovely country, so much brighter than I remember my two visits to New Mexico. It was much smoggier then. I'd love to see the air this clean and bright, lucky you. Interesting that we both shot rolling farmland for this month! Also, that Mike says one solution is to cut off the bottom, and Marla says cut off the sky perhaps. I see both points. My first impression was that that blue is so strong and cool toned with the white clouds that it draws my eye upward and away from the interesting patterns and colors at the bottom.
And I have the same problem sometimes with "what is the focal point" in my broad photos to shoot. I love wandering around in this and checking out all the details. I do like Marla's crop, and then my eye goes to the dark brown area, and moves back across with the white hills, so lots of movement keeping me in the picture.
