  1. Thanks @wogears. I can try and see how that will look. For most part, I thought this was the best tones I could get.
  2. Thanks Michael. That is true. Right side can be a little less brighter.
  3. @dcstep @mikemorrellNL @hjoseph7 Thank you for all the comments, inputs and discussion. I am attaching the image I worked on again, with a slightly more saturated skies and slightly overexposed foreground... I like this better ! One aspect I am missing in this picture are the sand textures and details, which is what I was trying to bring out. but unsuccessful. Most of my shots on this trip could not capture those details. The skies that day was amazing. I was scouting the landscape that evening and I got this one amazing shot I could share. I expected to get similar skies at least for a day to lock in my location, but skies did not cooperate. I post process my pictures a lot and play with colors, tones and saturation quite a bit. I want to bring out my experience I had. My initial thinking was not to go with too much post processing. But I did learn that many professionals do post process to bring out the mood. So, I decided to post process my images, at times a lot! I used to oversaturate my pictures, and I did get inputs on those images by previous version of photo net members. I will play with these images again. I usually revisit images once in a few months and give it another look. At times a fresh look provides more/better ideas!

  7. @dcstep, Thanks for the comments and inputs. Yes, I would keep the contrast just because there isn't much details. It is too shiny even if I reduce a little bit. I went there when there was too much light. Unfortunately, this was summer and Smithsonian's open and close when there is too much light and cannot do much about it. Definitely like the idea about having someone on the staircase. Adds to the story. Ropes, I think I have to just leave it. They were all over! just couldn't avoid.
  8. Thanks, Tony. I can eliminate the bright highlight. I tried playing with contrast, reducing contrast makes it shiny rather than extract details. There is not much texture to the 'railing' and hence the darker tones. Ropes, I could not help. I have a portrait version to get rid of ropes, but the composition isn't great.
  9. This is a picture of Smithsonian - Staircase architecture is beautiful. I want to submit this to a local gallery show (juried). Critique please and inputs for improvement is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
  10. @dcstep thanks for the inputs and feedback... Agreed, I was very focussed on the desert and foreground. I did capture some good sky but I was so overwhelmed with desert beauty, I might have missed capturing it.
  11. Modified Picture... With all the comments, I reworked the picture. Some more cropping for modifications to the composition, increased contrast.
  12. Hi Mickeysimpson, This the inside architecture of National Museum of American Indian, Smithsonian in DC
  13. I will definitely try the bullet 3. That could fix a lot of things. I can play with composition by cropping... I did that but I thought this was the best. Will give it a try again.
  14. Thanks, @Robin Simth. One thing I wonder is the details... I did like the composition, but I still think something is missing.
  15. Exposure to get the colors of the sky. Not much sand features with this exposure. Comments/critique appreciated.
