RMNP North Rim selection

Being that the others have posted a selection from the meet-up I suppose its my turn.

#1 - Dappled Light through the Canyon. My rainbow isn't as prominent as Peters posted image but I worked my shot a bit darker to emphasize the different hues of the canyon.

#2 - So Sublime. Many of you saw this earlier in the Landscape gallery.

#3 - Untitled. Also Point Sublime. I will need to do some more work on this one. The light on the face of the wall here got very hot and I'm having trouble getting it under control. Any suggestions gladly accepted.

#4 - Untitled. Cape Royal. I'm not sure if the comp is too odd here but I like the color and elements.

#5 - Locust Point Layers. Gradient layers at sunset. All my direct sunset shots had extreme flaring.

#6 - Yellow Fever. This was shot from the passenger seat in slow traffic through Munds Park, south of Flagstaff on the way home.

It was a great time and really enjoyed the company and tips from all. Lets do it again.

I think it's safe to say we all got some magical images during this meet up. Albeit a small group, hopefully the next one will include more members. It looks like you started to get the tail end of the rainbow as it began to fade. I had two images where I could clearly see the rainbow while all the others were faded. I like the light in #3 even with the harsh light. If you shot in RAW you might be able to adjust the highlights sliders to tone them down if you haven't already. #6 makes me wish we would have stopped somewhere and shot those meadows. They were absolutely popping with color. Great set Bob!

Nice series. Second one is my favorite.

Awesome series! The first two are my faves... especially the second one!

Very cool collection. The north rim rocks!

Bob,

#2 and #5 are excellent.

For #3, how are you processing it? It appears to have too much contrast overall, which is leading to over-saturated colors, and not helping with your hot areas on the lit cliffs. Was this shot in raw to start with? If so, I'd turn off any "landscape" setting,
back off the black point, turn down the contrast a touch, and turn down the "brightness" slider. See how that is, as a start.

Wish I could have made it down there to join y'all; unfortunately it was the first weekend of teaching, so travel was out...

Bob, the second image is clearly my favorite, and then the fourth.
Regarding the hot wall in #3, have you moved the white output slider left about 15-20 points so make those hot pixel colors more transparent? Also, a "reduce highlights" selectively brushed over the wall may help.
The rainbow we saw over the draw was a bonus. Could some selective contrast and saturation enhance it to make it slightly more visible?

I love #1 and #3! The exact words out of my mouth on #!- "Woooow! Very pretty!"
