36 Jun 20 Reply The alternative is to use the barrel distortion feature in the LR transform panel. This would be an easy fix with minimal effect on the rocks. Jun 12th
36 Jun 20 Comment I agree with Larry's comments about the crop, texture and the B/W conversion. Nicely done. Hard to make suggestions but a couple - you might check the histogram to make sure you got the full tonal range in the image; I think maybe just a bit more contrast is available. Not a processing comment but if you go back, to me if you had moved a bit to the right you could get more of a vanishing point perspective to the image - unless some distraction was there. Jun 11th
36 Jun 20 Comment Super processing so I have nothing to add there. My only suggestion is to decide which is most important - the land or the sky and crop accordingly. Personally I would crop some of the beautiful sky away to make it more about the landscape. The only other suggestion is to lighten the part of the cliff in the bottom middle of the image to draw more attention to that area. Just looking I have a hard time deciding if that is vegetation or rock. Jun 11th
36 Jun 20 Comment The pano crop works very well. I agree with the others that the image overall from buildings to sky are a bit flat, but to me the foreground and trees look natural so I don't think I would apply any global adjustments. In LR you might use the gradient tool and add some clarity, texture and play with the white and black sliders to see if you get more pop. Jun 11th
36 Jun 20 Comment A well-done B/W photo. For me, my eye was attracted to the sharp contrast and bright trim of the panels so am OK with the sky, but I would not argue against darkening it some. If you are not a purist, at least to me this would be a stronger image if you removed the distractions (again, to me) of the power lines and poles. The lighting in the center of the image is really very effective. Jun 11th
36 Jun 20 Reply Ah, thanks. I recropped this image and missed the partial person on the left. Jun 11th
36 Jun 20 Comment A beautiful image, a real wall hanger. I did recognize the long exposure effect on the rocks. I like the way you used light to draw my eye through the image to the sky. The reflections on the middle rocks work every effectively and the darker rocks on the bottom keep my eye from going out but the triangular shape of the rocks point to the next group of rocks and so on. Nicely composed. My only question is it looks to me the horizon is curved. It could be my eye or that a lens correction is needed. Jun 11th
36 Jun 20 Comment Wow, being late to the party means I have very little to add to the above suggestions that I agree with - cropping top and left, adding contrast to sky, adding clarity to the buttes, etc. I might suggest using the brush with dehaze on the buttes to reduce the haze and up the clarity and maybe just very subtly darken the rocks in front so the eye goes to the subject buttes. Nicely seen Jun 11th
