Hi Gordon. I have the color layer on the bottom layer and I added Layers-new adjustment layers-black and white. This gave me the ability to move color sliders to pump up or tone down areas in the black and white conversion so I could have control of the landscape details more. I then used the history brush in Photoshop to go back to the original color layer for the train. But, I worked several hours on this as I kept trying different things, some worked and some were so bad it took a long time to get rid of them. It didn't have to be so hard but I was experimenting. |

Oh John! I am so jealous! Gorgeous lighting and perfect amount of red rock and white snow, perfectly shot and processed. Great job. I might take the small piece of hoodoo on the bottom left out. Or, add a couple more there for a leading line in.
I agree it's worthy of gift shop sales. |

So peaceful. Doing what you love can be healing. Hope you are stronger for it. I think you could crop on the right but maybe keep the stump for a 'stopper' on the right side.
Lovely pastoral clouds and reflections, reminds me of an Impressionist show I just saw in Tacoma on Sunday.
I also wonder if you would try it in Sepia, Silver Efex Pro. |

I agree that it is a visual stunning image. Very compelling. And I am trying to give any advice as a piece of artwork, due to my being a painter and this being artwork.
You have strong leading lines coming in from the left, and a strong visual story going vertical with the tree trunks. And also a secondary but strong group of lines going from the bottom diagonally to the top left. All this makes for more visual "weight" on the top left side.
I wondered if you had more of the straighter burned trees on the top left you could include in the photo which would make the clump of trees on the top left edge less heavy weight-wise. |

Your foreground is so lovely! I love the light gold of the grass and the dark silhouettes of the trees. And, I think your composition is perfect, loving the line of the foreground slant with the straight ocean peeking out behind the trees. |

Beautiful color and what an exciting night to be out shooting. I agree a longer exposure would smooth the water but I don't know about blowing out the highlights too much. Some people would do a long exposure and then a shorter one and put them together for the best of both worlds, but I myself wouldn't be the one good at doing that. Beautiful light and makes me wish I were there. |

A very different composition from you, very zen.
It's nice how the fog comes up to a point in the center, making this a very symmetrical shot. The focal point is that swirly branch in the center. I'm also wondering if you cropped about a quarter off the right side if I would find the focal point more pleasing to my eye.
The frozen grasses in the front look quite interesting to my eye. Do you have any with more foreground? |
