landscape Kamloops Lake

Comments, critiques, advice welcome. Thanks.

Very nicely done, Limda. Good diagonals and curves, capped of with a great sky. I do find the guard rail distracting, but that's just me. Can't handle anything modern in a pure natural setting.

Hi Doug,

 

Whether to keep this or toss it because of the road was something I thought about. I have done a few shots lately that have roads in them, something I'm not always sure about. I know that many photographers don't like to see a landscape touched by humans. With this one I decided I liked the line as it cuts across the hill, it draws the eye into the scene.

 

You didn't ask, but you may wonder if this is HDR. No, I just played with it in Photoshop. I did a few layers at various exposures, and a bit of dodge and burn to accent the clouds. I appreciate your comments and advice. Thanks.

 

Warm regards,

 

Linda

Gorgeous Linda. Really well done! Fantastic color, good composition. I like the

yellow bush in the lower right hand corner.

Very beautiful image, fantastic colors.

Very beautiful picture. You kept the details in the highlights so well! Regards. Glauco

Andrea, Kazimiera, Glauco,

 

Thanks for looking and commenting.

Wonderful panorama!

Beautiful shot Linda.

Hi Linda. Just got back from a whirlwind trip to Big Bend, Texas... and then up to Minnisota to visit my brother.

I'm not a " no hand of man" advocate. I just liked the sculptured dueling diagonals split by the horizontal lake line, and the road kept distracting me. I should say "the road where it breaks the border". Just personal preferences though.

As for the sky, I'm so used to you having spectacular skies, I really never thought of HDR, but it does have the great tonal range.

You must have spent some time on it.

 

Antanas, Birte, Thanks for the comments, I appreciate it.

 

Doug,

 

Welcome back!

 

I spent a little time bringing out the contrast in the sky in Photoshop. I mainly use the dodge and burn tools on my skies. I learned how to dodge and burn back in the day when I was a student learning how to develop film and make basic B&W prints at Sheridan College.
