Rainier PN Sat Test

Comments?

Composition, detail,light and colours are very good. Regards.

This certainly brings the wildflowers more alive than the other example; of the two, I prefer this. Actually I'd probably prefer Rainier from the first example with the alpine meadows in this, but that's a nit.

Michael,

 

Thanks for the comments. The first one I posted was more tru to life in the flowers, but the mountain was more vibrant as shown in the second one. I was basically testing the fact that people are more seduced by popping colors, which I can understand to a point.

This is very beautiful, but I think I would crop some of the foreground.

wow, very beautiful light on mountain and excellent composition. I wonder that I didn't see this photo on first page.

So true - it is just human nature. That's why I love PS and absolutely embrace its full panoply of applications. I am in no way a purist who believes in minimal edits or manipulating only "on the field" rather than later, on the file. Purism, to me, is adherence to a vision that you as the photographer have at the moment that you first visualize a photograph. It does NOT have to be what you are physically looking at, but it does have to be what you are "seeing." If you make dozens of file edits to achieve that initial vision, then you are a purist in my eyes - and a better artist to boot! I mention this to you because I believe you are one of the best at that in all of PN. This image is a great example of that, but only one of very many. Thanks for sharing all your work out here.
