My post-processing skills finally catching up with some difficult files

The Magnificent Tetons by Slobodan Blagojevic, on Flickr

P.S. There is a larger version on 500Px - click on the image there and enlarge your browser full-screen

Very nice view on those toothy ridges. The light is very difficult and you managed to keep a natural look, well done!

+1. I might have centered the range.

Now that's an interesting idea and not a bad one. Thanks for that. It was a 3:1 pano before, but if I go 2:1, I'd get this. Better?

Here is a b&w version as well:

Might require scrolling here on LuLa, unless you are in a full-screen mode.

Like the B/W version very much.

I really enjoy the B/W image, but all are spectacular. (I only wish I had a larger monitor to view it on 500Px. A large print would be sensational imho.)

I like that a lot more than the colour version, Slobodan.

Yes!
I understand why people like the B&W, the colour version has a naturally dull foreground. Have you tried increasing the brightness of the yellow trees? Or darkening the grass a tad... lots to try here.

Color and 2:1

Nice!

Already done in the OP photo. Any more and it would start looking like an HDR.

OK Slobodan I'm going to be the odd one out on this one. IMO this shot just doesn't work. Beside the kind of dull (tonewise) foreground, to me the angles created by the fence in the pano are distracting and the shot is too far away to really capture the grandeur of the Tetons (at least not for me). I'll admit a bit of a bias as I grew up n NW Wyoming and have been to the Tetons many times and obviously have a view of the range built into my own personal virtual gallery.

The city work you have been posting is outstanding!

Best,
Chuck

I think those are crocodile tears. Anyway as you say all critique is good critique (even if you don't agree).

I was kidding, of course. And yes, I stand by it, that all critique is good critique, so thank you for it.

I just put my money where my mouth is, even if it is on a casino table (a.k.a. art fair), as I ordered a 20"x60" canvas for two art fairs in September. So will see. If I do not sell it, you were right.

Hope it sells! I'm glad to be proven wrong.

Thanks for noticing and remembering, btw.

Pretty cool shot(s) with the way the opening in the clouds follows the contour of the range. Tough lighting tamed well too.
I also wish the mountain peak would be centered, but in the 3:1 ratio. Not sure if you have the pixels to do that but it might be worth considering if you do.

Out of curiosity, where do you order your canvas prints from?
