Graeme Pettit ...
Works well – the eye is led by so many aspects. I like the photoshop work, if that is what you have used to adjust the gamma to give that extra touch of dark moodiness
Garth Smith replied
Thank you Graeme.
The “dark moodiness” that you mention comes mainly from early morning orange light. Shot in RAW to the right side of the histogram then I used NX2 to spread the levels across the full histogram and pulled the midrange a little to the right and sensor spots were removed but thats about it I think.
dkleing
Beautiful colours.
Garth Smith replied
Thank you very much

It is a bit warm but it works well within the shot. Good job.

Jan Timmons
This is the quintessentially perfect landscape shot. I was reading about lines leading to a focal point to create a great landscape shot, and you have multiple converging lines and gorgeous coloiurs. I can see why so many groups featured this. Beautiful work!
