Thanks for the comments on my fist try a couple of days ago.
Have been a bit reluctant on posting yet another image from such a popular location as Sprague lake. And having seen such amazing shots from there I feel as if I am copying. But with the helpful comments from last time I wanted to share just one more image.
This was taken a few minutes later than the first one I showed. For this image I used a .6 GND in the field and decided apply another .3 GND in LR2. Based upon the previous suggestions I reduced the blue cast in the image. A little bump to the contrast in the clouds and otherwise basic processing and sharpening.
Way better IMO, Steven! I love the colors and the clouds. You do have some blown highlights, but I think that's acceptable shooting right into the sun. The comp is classic Sprague Lake. That's a good thing.
It's hard to judge too much at this size, but on the bottom, just to the right of center, is some distracting grass(?).
Appreciate the comments everyone. Paul, that distracting grass is actually a little break in the grass where some water is working back towards the camera. Thanks for pointing it out. It is something I will have to keep in mind for the future when composing a shot in haste. And yes, there are some blown highlights right where the sun is peaking over the horizon. Should have used a 3 stop GND.
