On the trail

Very nicely composed!

Best regards,

Supriyo, the sense of depth is enhanced by the trail leading into the picture, and the people provide a sense of scale, both of which are good.

To me, the sky is distracting because it appears so over-processed.  Having dramatic clouds is nice, but here the clouds and sky are very contrasty, too much so, I think.  A reviewer of one of your other shots said that the clouds compete with the rocks, and I would say the same here.  In this case, the rocks seem to be cut out and pasted onto a background of clouds.  There is a halo around the rocks (both a white halo and a black one) that add to this illusion.  Possibly less contrast in the sky, and less sharpening, would be beneficial.

Hi Mark,

I agree with you 100% on the unreal look of the sky. I was bored by the familiar look of a trail, and tried to give it kind of a an alien landscape feel, or perhaps the backdrop from an old movie set. Whether it works or not, you are entitled to judge.

I will upload a version with a more normal sky, without the apocalyptic cloud look.

Thank you very much for stoping by and giving your good suggestions.
