Seren Beauty, Zion NP Narrows Rework

Steve, Suggested that I crop out the tiny bit of sky, and give the

saturation a boost. Instead of cropping I cloned out the tiny bit of sky,

upped the exposure, add a tiny bit of intensity to the color, very small

and added a little more contrast to the water using levels. I still kind of

like the tiny bit of sky as it sort of gave some perspective to the scene,

but looks good without the sky. I like the increase in the exposure as it

seemed a little dark, it helped make the fall colors pop a little more and

added more beauty to the wet canyon wall on the right.

Your Thoughts! Thank you.

I hadn't commented on the first photo, but I do like what you've done here better.   In addition, the shot is nicely composed with the wonderful scene you selected.  This looks like a long exposure to soften the water? The color and tone of the water is very nice.

Hi Sherry,

  Beautiful image with wonderful colors, lighting & details.  Take care, Patsy

Una maravilla, sin dudas!

=)

A nice shot and strong rather close composition. I agree with what you have done for the second version except for the right rock which looks a bit over processed and unreal blue tinged. I,ve been tempted to mask out the right rock off all second post-process work. First and second versions both are eye-pleasing and nice. Congrats.

Hamid.

ps. I enjoyed and inspired all of your beautiful gallery specially landscapes.

Beautiful image Sherry. Such a lovely spot. The lighting is beautiful as is the colour of the water. I like your other version as well.
