Wakhan Corridor - feedback for print
« on: May 06, 2017, 03:14:40 pm »

Hi all,

I'm after some specific feedback -- is the contrast and saturation on this image too much? It's going to end up as a print on Canon semi-gloss paper. Also, let me know if you find it a little dark. I would like the image to convey the fact that dusk was at hand, but then again if a print is too dark it's too dark!

Almost forgot to mention the location - Yamchun Fort, Wakhan Corridor. The Panj River, running in the valley below, serves as the border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan (the mountains in the distance are in Afghanistan).

Thanks.

On my monitor it looks very nice as is. If anything, you might make it a very little bit darker to convey the coming of dusk.

Damon - I think it could go a bit darker - but I find the sky saturation and hues a bit distracting and intense. Maybe shift that cyan to red a bit? An aside, I'm not sure if this image and its elements will really convey the "sense of dusk"...maybe if the hilltop in foreground had a slight bit of color added to it...such as something from a dusk palette (pink/orange)...as it is it's bright/wan and again doesn't support objective.  /B

Right, Damon. Don't go out and shoot anything else. Stay home and dork around with this instead.

Fuggidaboudit! It's fine just as it is. Move on.

I agree about darkening it but otherwise a fine image. Hue and saturation is YOUR choice and imo shouldn't be changed.
