Wet morning, Catlins

Cannibal bay New Zealand

lovely light. good lead-in lines (with curve). dramatic sky.

well done!

Very nice image in content and composition. The small creek leads nicely into the image and the sky is very dramatic. My only issue is that I can see a fair amount of banding in the sky. I'm not sure if this is film or digital, if film I would say to rescan if digital then I would check the histogram for the darker sky and see if you have any gaps. Otherwise a very, very nice image.

Thanks Craig for your in put. I will re-sample the image, I am a print maker so often don't pay a huge amount of attention on my web samples. For example this is a 400 megabyte image at 16 bit which i carefully post produce for print, however I just click an action to make the web version, I should pay more attention. The print though just took my breath away.

I bet it did...and the bigger the better on something like this.  Was this shot with large format?

Not this time, it is two horizontal images joined using a D800, I do that to maximize my resolution. I have been using a 5x4 and a scanning back, but it takes too long to set up the camera and laptop to get the moment.

All processing including dodging and burning is done in RAW with the stitching in Photoshop.
