Thanks for looking. I look forward to your comments.

I know I speak for many on this site. We all would love it if you would put some data about the shot and or a quick explanation of what you did in PS. Great Color and detail, High Dynamic range, I would suggest a warming filter on the mountains and foreground to get realistic colors to that amazing sky. Great work though

very nice.congrats.

....nice and spectacular...obviously the sky was added in PS since its lightning does not match with the one of the mountain...but nervertheless it is a nice picture...I have a preference for originals...

I'm sorry but I must disagree with the last comment. While the colors are great the shawdows and sky are just too out of synch for this to work for me. It just doesn't come across as real.

Very dramatic shot, but I have to agree with the previous comments about the sky.

wow...wonderfull and dramatic...great colours

Dear Nile,

This is a very nice mountain and a beautiful sky but those two joined together, in my opinion, they don't much. It's like two different photos!

Take care!

I am sorry to say this - but this is an example of very bad PS work. The disparity of light condition in the scene and sky kills the picture completely - digital alteration can be deadly unless you use it properly. That's my honest opinion - sorry

Thanks for everyone's comments.

Yes, the sky is added and the light does not match...at all. I liked the colors so much that I went for it anyway.

Lesson learned.

The waterfall was also added.

Magica luz, bello encuadre, perfecta composicion, un cordial saludo Nile.

... but too obvious that the sky is pasted in. The backlit sunset sky could not produce the shadows on the rocks coming from high in the sky to the left.

 

At least not on this planet... :-)

 

And that waterfall... in the desert? With no inlet or outlet stream?

 

Maybe it IS a different planet! :-)

Nothing wrong about getting creative with our photography :)

 

I bet you had alot of fun working this shot in PS. Tripping the shutter is only half the fun to me. The second half comes from putting everything together and getting a little bit creative.

I will second Arnab's opinion. This is way out of synch, and it would be evident from clear across the room. It's fun to experiment and to test proficiency using PS techniques, but in the end, skill is far more than just the ability to use tools.

is that the sunlights are coming from the back of the mountain, still the shadows are on the right side. :) PS works also should have some logic.

I disagree with Brian. I think that there is something terribly wrong with manipulating photography. To me, it is like lying.

im looking at it from a more surrealistic point of view...of course the elements dont match up but when i stand back and look at it estheticaly the overall works for me.

just my 5cents worth.

cheers

very nice shot

EXCELENTE !!!!!

very good and soft colours..i like it..very good..congratulations..byee

nice pic) but it looks not natural)

You should have posted all the PS details in your original comment, not everyone reads through the comments below :P

 

Would be absolutely fantastic if it was all natural of course :)

Impresive landscape excellently composed. Light is gorgeous.

This is a Digital Alteration, not a Landscape shot. You should have said so in the first place and put it in the proper category.

I think photoshop should be used carefully and as perfect as possible. Sorry but this picture (and not shot) is clearly, and very easily to see, a fake. Jep the sky looks good but doesn't fit at all to the foreground. Sorry this is a bummer..
