I had a devil of time with this shot. From the original capture through post processing. I had to use both a 2-stop and a 3-stop GND to hold back the sky and even then I had some blown out areas. Didn't want to add any more filtration as I was concerned with getting color shift. I shot this at several different WB settings and they all came out rather blue except for the Shade WB setting. Even so the colors don't seem quite right to me and I couldn't get it like I remembered during processing. Still, its a nice reminder of an enjoyable evening with the wildflowers, breezes and song birds.
Hey, Jody - wanna hire some of those clouds out from Todd so that we can all get together and have a sunrise shot? No clouds this morning...
Doug - try matching the blue sky in the upper middle to a bluer color - I agree with Jody, the color cast is odd and yellowish with possibly a bit of green.
Doug, this looks good for handling the dynamic range, but the color cast is pretty strong. I think if you had a little time away from the image you'd be able to get the colors pretty close at a later edit.
