Good but will be better if the whole photo is yellowish.

Impressive. Very nice colors. I would prefer a different composition - with more sky in the photo, but still - excellent work.

A good exercise with graduated filter, isn't it?

 

I would prefer a little darker one, like a tobacco instead of the yellow one for the mood and I would move the filter up a little bit so the lower part of the sky is whiter and the house and the tree would not be colorized.

 

As a matter of fact, I would not use the filter in the taking of the picture in the first place. I would render the color in Photoshop which gives me a lot more lattitude in this kind of manipulation.

Technically it's fine. The slight tilt to get the houses uncoulored gave you some yellow water, but that's not very disturbing.

 

Frankly, however, I think the vision of yellow/tobacco skies has been overshooted and needs a break for a decade or so. I'd appreciate a much fresher style in such a scene.

No offence intended, but I really can't stand filters like this. It screams "FAKE!". I've never seen a sky that color. It looks totally unnatural. I don't mind the use of polarizers, split neutral density filters, warming filters, and the like. These can be used to enhance a photo or compensate for undesirable lighting conditions. But the end result, if used properly, is a natural looking image. If you intend an entirely artificial look, then this filter works fine, I suppose. I, personally, dont like this kind of filtration.
