@Serendipidy, many thanks for your comments.
I obviously do not know how experienced you are, but I see from your signature that you have a great camera and lenses. My advice for landscape would be to find somewhere quite close to where you live that you could consider picturesque. Then imagine that scene as you would like to see it lit. Then think about the lighting implications of whether this would be early morning or late evening. Then when you have the time and the light is right pop over there and get the shot ! Adjust the frames in pp to get the right look and you've got it ! Or as Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Starship Enterprise would say : Make it so !

I think you might have nailed it RPT. I think I am kind of seeing two photos in one... very interesting... and I still like it!rpt said:I am just guessing - don't take notice if you think I am wrong...Krob78 said:param said:
Param, I like this image but it feels a little artificial to me... I'm not sure if the snow is too white or the sky is too saturated, but it seems to need just the slightest of adjustment to me. I just can't pinpoint what it is... Of course, maybe it's just me! Overall, I do really like it though. What a beautiful morning that was!
I think your eyes are drawn to the lower one third where everything in the foreground is in focus. This is in stark contrast to the upper two-thirds of the picture. However as the contrast of the lower portion is higher than that of the upper portion by a factor (I am guessing) greater than 1.5 (inverse of 2/3), and the snow provides such a compelling contrast background, you end up looking down. Force yourself to look at the sky keeping the lower one third out of direct sight and you will see what I am talking about (I hope).
When I see this image, I see two pictures - one with the lower part with the contrast and the second with the sky - I like the two pictures. I guess it does not work as a single picture for some... See, it does not "lead" you up a path to an object of "interest"... But then that is art - makes you think... What am I saying? I am am Engineer!
Thanks for the thought!

It is lovely. So what did you shoot it with? What settings? Do share...
Shot with a 500D and 16-35mm f2.8 ll. 13 individual portrait orientated bracketed shots(3 exposures each) at 16mm, f11, iso100, shutter and exposure locked on AV mode. Blended the 3 exposures of 13 bracketed sets to create 13 balanced images in Ps CS6, then used its pano function and exported to Lr4 to make usual colour, contrast and sharpness adjustments. Final JPEG was 100Mb but can only put a 4Mb version up here so don't zoom

Thanks very much. Not all of my photos turn out like this(1 in 500) but my hit rate on keepers is getting better with the more experience and technique I gain. Perfect practice makes perfect picturesserendipidy said:Frodosbigtoe and Sporgon.....WOW! So beautiful. I wish my photos looked half as amazing. Good work and keep posting so we all can enjoy more
