Rock at Dawn w/repost

Gallery: LandscapePosted March 8, 2011102 views7 comments

I've been a bit overly critical of my photos lately which isn't always a bad thing. I spent another beautiful morning at Chilliwack Lake but again no real drama in the sky and this lake is seldom calm enough for decent reflections. How's the processing on this?

A beautiful, peaceful morning with a lovely reflection and a delightful sky. I also like the low hanging cloud in front of the peaks. On my monitor however, this looks somewhat oversharpened.

I think this is a nice one dean. No gaudy colors perhaps but a beautiful scene none the less. Processing looks good to me. Nice job blending exposures. Only suggestion would be to maybe brighten the shadows just a bit.

Thanks for the feed-back. Bill-definitely over-sharpened( that's what I get for processing photos just before bed. Robert-I'll give that a shot.

A very fine and interesting composition, especially the foreground. Your processing works perfectly for me, the colors are natural and really beautiful.

I find your second post to be softer (in the good way) and more serene.

Repost is much better Dean. Sweet light and lovely reflections. I agree with Robert's assessment of the shadows too.
