Baker, sunrise, moonset

Rework of shot from 2 summers ago. Originally developed a shot utilizing a 3stop ND filter but this was just unworkable with the sharp irregular sun line. This is an HDR of 4 shots without the ND (plus I rose up the moon which had set 15min previously).
Canon 5DMk2, 24-105mm at 35mm, iso 100, f9.5, 0.3-1/90sec.

Very Nice composition! I love the scene and all of the elements. I'm not sure if my monitor is fully calibrated because the colors seem a little 'off' This could be due to the HDR merge settings or just that the images are shot from different times of day? I see more blue tones on top and more green tones on the bottom. Could it be the ND playing with tones? Nevertheless, an amazing panorama and a beautiful photograph.

Beautiful and dramatic shot Daniel, but I agree with Marco. The colors do look a little off. Looks to me to have a slight overall green color cast. That should be a pretty easy fix though.

Daniel,

A beautiful mountain scene with lovely, warm light on the mountain. there may be a slight green cast, but I think it's not very strong. I like the presence of the moon, although it seems rather "clean" relative to the time of day and I would expect some atmosphere to soften it somewhat. Thanks btw for the disclosure as I considered the possibility when first viewing this.

Yeah, I think just a slight increase in the blue channel in a Levels or curves layer would help. Certainly an image worth tweaking an making the best it can be.

Cool image Daniel. I really like the moon here. I agree with the other about the green/yellow cast in the image. I think a bit more blue might help balance things out a bit.
