The dramatic contrast between the two unique textures is so marvelously contained in this photo which is equally a meditation or an idyll.
Despite an appreciable tonal smoothness achieved in the lighter areas between the benches/steps, some textural details, unfortunately, appear to have been altered to the point of artifice via Neat Image or some other means of post-processing. This is most regrettable, IMO, beyond the middle (the canopy of the trees)- and in the background (on the rock face), where the intricacies sit.
I would have loved to see them rendered naturally, particularly in an image of such dynamic composition and remarkable potential. |
