Pioneer Valley

[P Plates]

Took heaps of this view - comes from being landscape deprived around here. Lots of different light and clouds. These are facing east and I was hoping for a sensational sunrise but every morning there was low cloud/fog.

I like # 2, it's a really nice shot of the valley. The shadows right lower corner are a bit of distraction but they could be easily fixed in processing.

#3 is a very interesting capture. The horizontal rainbow effect looks great but the image as a whole needs a bit more work to really get the best from it in my opinion. I think about 25% of the sky could be cropped out and perhaps a little off the bottom as well. Then levels adjustment to bring out more of the colour and reduce the haze.

#1, great with the bird giving it a more visual reality of the depth of the image.
#2, as Greg says, needs the haze and shadows adjusted and I think the blues are a bit over saturated.
#3, needs the haze removed and levels up a bit.



These are only my interpretations. I really like your images.

3 beautiful images Gabby!

#1. This looks good when cropped down to 3 - 1 ratio as well, still leaves a hint that the sun is there in the top L/hand corner...something different to try maybe?

#2. This is my pic of the 3 as well. as suggested, maybe lose the boyfriends/husbands shadow from the lawn? I sortta like what Isac has done but the clouds have become very harsh...sorry Isac.

#3. Another I believe could benefit from 3 - 1 crop leaving just enough of the darker cloud to balance the shadows on the ground.


Just my thoughts as I 'type out loud'...


Cheers.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, will have another look. Amazing I didn't even notice that shadow Gaz (don't tell my husband I have a boyfriend!), I think it was a German guy who was also photographing the scene.
