"End Of Day II"

Hi Folks!

 

Now this is a new version from earlier photo. I was not quite pleased to dark area

around the sun so I had to try to fix it. I'm not quite pleased it still but I think it got

better.. Also I did ad local saturation. I don't know if anyone have time to compare

the photos and give opinion but I if somebody does I'm most thankful.

 

Suggestions and critique are very welcome!

Hi Mika -

 

I compared both versions and I do like the increased drama in this one. By dark area around the sun I guess you are referring to the entire dark cloud; I sure am missing any other, smaller dark ring. It appears you increased saturation and deepened blacks, giving this version more punch, and warmed the color temp a bit. One aspect that I find particularly striking is the magenta glow on the FG snow. You don't see that every day (or evening!). I still can't decide if I like all that black sky up there. My knee jerk tendency is to crop off blank areas of sky like that, but in this case it seems to add some weight. Or not - just not sure.

 

In any event, your image is outstanding.

This is outstanding! I particularly like the long shadows in that spectacular red light on the foreground snow as well as the rich red of the river. There isn't a lot going on in the top third of the image and I wonder whether cropping down about half of it would help keep the eye on the real drama

Striking color combination, I particularly like the purple on the front

Great shot

Beautiful.

Outstanding! Beautifully executed!

This is a marvelous photo with fantastic light, clarity, depth and colors. Bags of mood here. Compliments, Mika!
