Mudgee Morning

[HansE]

Very misty this particular morning.

I'm a bit partial to mist and like the combination of muted tones and colours here

[Alan]

Also love the muted tones.

I'd be inclined to crop out the sunlit hills behind and just stick with the soft mist

[HansE]

I can see that. It does create a different effect. It does change the story. Still a thousand words?

[Alan]

Sometimes less is more ...

nice shot. to me the different tones in the background pull the eye to the extent of letting it down a bit imho.
first thoughts were to crop it out but then it gives the shot a too tight feel imho.
perhaps you could crop a bit off the top, or if game perhaps clone some of the whites over it?

worth a bit of a look I think because the zigzag lines lead well thru the shot too.
good work

[Alan]

I was going to suggest adding a bit of canvas to the top after cropping, and then 'content aware' some mist into it for that very reason. But your suggestion would work as well. Snap.

[HansE]

I would go along with that. I will have another play with it at a later date. On another project now.
Thanks for the input Alan and Stephen.

That's a cracker of a shot Hans. Just a thought, if you have Lightroom or Photoshop the dehaze filterin ACR might be worth a go on the background. It is a powerful filter and is easy to go overboard with but it can do amazing things. Worth a look if you have access to it.

I use an old copy of Photoshop CS2 i find I can buy good books cheap that way. I will probably never even get to use half this program so I am not in a hurry to update. I will have a look and see if that function is available. Thanks Mick
