Racetrack Playa in Death Valley

[Roman Racela]

I took a few friends camping over the weekend (04/13) to Racetrack Playa in Death Valley. Here's one of the sunset shots I took during the trip. I left the white balance to "Cloudy" by mistake but I kind of like the unusual colors it produced so I didn't even bother correcting them in post. What do you guys think? Should I adjust the color and/or color tempreture to make it look more like a regular or stock photo?

Try it & see. You could have both versions

Image is great!

Frankly, I would leave it as it is… I like it!

Colour, texture, light, movement, perspective, technique: this one ticks all my boxes.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll leave it alone. I'll never know if I'll like the image with the correct WB.

Although this image turned out great by mistake, lately I've been somewhat experiemental when it comes to processing images...pushing it to be a bit more different but not overcooking it. I just don't want my images to look like good stock photos anymore. Nothing wrong with stock photos, but I just want to go to a slightly different direction...if that makes any sense. I also hope that I learn how to balance what's tasteful and what it not when it comes to creating images. I think going too far with PS can create some whacky images...but to each his own.

Thank you, sdwilsonsct. I'm glad you like it. I shoot for my presonal enjoyment so I wasn't sure how others would view or like how this image turned out.
