Black Tusk Radiation

Gallery: LandscapePosted September 4, 2013181 views3 comments

I can't get enough of this mountain. There is something there that makes me come back. This photo is one of my attempts to shoot Black Tusk. I'm yet to find perfect view and composition. Photo was taken after sunset. Snow was reflecting light bringing details and glow back to that not entirely black rock. What are your feelings about this one?
Comments and suggestions appreciated.

This photo contains 3 shots
Two horizontal shots for better perspective blended by hand (one for mountain, one for sky)
additional shot for DOF

I feel like giving this image second chance. Something and somewhere went wrong and image turned a little to dark that I wanted. Here is an update. Is it any better?

Arthur, That is an amazing scene and I can't help but think what it would have been like being here to make this shot. Looking at the larger version I actually think I like it better than the repost. Maybe because it feels more natural in the foreground light to me. This is a wonderful image and the more I look at the larger version the more I enjoy it....Beautiful!!

I think an image midway between the two would be best. The first one is a little dark, and the second one looks a little HDR-ish. You might also consider pulling some of the cyan in the snow.

The composition works for me and I like the detail and the sky.
