Nice composition, but the colors are really over the top here IMO.

Look carefully at the reflection and the sky.

You will see the grey cloud should be below

the bottom line of the photo.

That's why you can't see it.

No Photoshop tricks here at all.

The form of the leaf is pleasing. The colors and tone are pleasing, but the out of focus section in the upper left detracts from the overall photo IMO. You need to shoot this stoped down further to get a greater depth of field.

A nice image Fritz. But between the 100VS and the polarizer I find the contrast is a bit higher than optimum. It should be possible to lower this in Photoshop with a curves adjstment. I feel the shot would be even better with a softer tonal transition. But, if you like it this snappy keep it where you've got it!

Stitching looks flawless, tone looks superb.

A great shot!

I hate to raise a voice to the contrary here. You have some great night shots in this folder, but this is not one of them. I've looked at it carefully but to me the large dark area in the middle/lower right adds nothing to the photo. It is flat in tone and doesn't have a hint of interesting light that leads one to the rest of the composition. I might just be a voice in the dark however. :)

As sunset shots go, this is only a limited success. The overall palette of colors is very limited by the high contrast. The point of view is straight on with no interesting deviation in the compostion.

Wonderful color contrast & composition!

Very original Antelope shot. Nice use of fill flash or reflector/

I agree many time real ND filters look unnatural.

In this case though one would have worked. But the PS filter worked as well or better.

A very nice image! But there does appear to be some blocking up or granularity in dark portions of the clouds. This could be a JPEG artifact or the image breaking up do to excessive 8 bit channel processing in Photoshop. Reworking it in 16 bit channels mode would solve this problem and improve the tonality in these areas.

Jean if you could go back and shoot this with a medium format or view camera, do it!

 

I think large 24"x30" prints of this would sell very, very well. People would love to hang it on their wall.

Leping has the finest landscape portfolios on Photo.net, but this photo has an obvious ND filter line across it and is flawed.

Jean this is a gorgeous shot.

Great color harmony and composition!

This looks out of focus to me.

Maybe your scan is fuzzy?

Simple & very nice.

No polarizer was used to change the reflection.

If you look closely there is a hint of the clouds in the water. The only changes made in Photoshop were color corection and a levels change to set the white and black points. The light was what it was, quite amazing. I left my medium format camera in the car unfortunately!

Nice light, but the left hand side of the image is a little dead. I think it would be a notch better recropped like so.

The perspective seems off to me.

Shooting with a view camera, you should have been able to fix this with tilt and improve the overall composition.

Gorgeous!

Your best effort to date.

Marvelous tone & mood.

I think this would be a very strong shot recroped like so. The top is a dead area tone wise.

A lovely delicate image!

Very nice color and tones, but the horizon is tilted. This is easily fixed in Photoshop.

 

And a little recropping is IMO needed.

The left side of the image has powerful light and composition, but the right side of the image is fairly dead. Recroped as above it becomes a powerful image with every part in harmony and strong point of focus.
