Re-post with lightened foreground. I posted this yesterday, feedback

suggested lightening the foreground. An improvement? Thanks for

looking.

Well, I certainly like this; but can't say that I saw the prior version. This is an incredibly surrealistic landscape with some pretty terrific light and color. Excellent comp, James; and thanks for sharing. Cheers! Chris

I didn't see this yesterday, either, but I took a peek at your portfolio and compared both versions. This certainly captures some foreground detail, BUT now the sky is a bit washed out--I already miss those saturated colours! I think I like the former version better. Just my humble opinion.

While I agree that the first (darker) of these could use some lightening of the foreground, I also agree with the above post that this version has sacrificed the beautiful sky to achieve this. Also I think you have pushed the foreground a little too far; the tones now look a bit harsh. This capture cries out for the use of either subtle HDR or layers/masking (my preference) to get both areas just right.

Thanks for the detailed critique. Back to the drawing board to get a better balance.

awesome!! what a landscape, where it is???

I think it's better to look for another compo to not superpose any rock.
