Ahhhh, but Karen, YOU are ONE of the expert landscape photographers here! And this is so striking. Dramatic and beautiful! One to be extremely proud of!
Ultra heavily processed, and the first one of this challenge that I can say that about without marking it down. Expert editing there, a fantastic shot and brilliant composition.
Wonderful tones. The photo is a bit “overdone” for my taste. The picture seems to be too busy, I can't find any dominating focal point in it. My eyes are wondering all over the picture and cannot stop. .It is an interesting picture but tiring my eyes. (6)
At first, this looked busy but I'm really starting to dig this. Love the color treatment. Seems to have a horizontal line running through the clouds. Nice job!
The dramatic dodging and burning entirely shifts the focus away from the subject matter. Interesting picture, but I think slightly more subtle editing would've brought out its potential more.
There is so much going on in this shot, I cannot find a place to rest my eyes. The highlights seem to be blown out and the sepia toning does not help define any focal points. Sorry, but it is not to my taste.
I love the composition of this photo and detail in the subject matter. Although the PP helps to demonstrate the sentimental feeling of reflecting on the past, my feeling is that it's slightly over processed, but truly a good effort. 7.
Beautiful scene and I like your choice of tones - but you might consider lowering the contrast a little - I'm losing the details in the extremes of the light and shadow (on my monitor at least).
