Antelope Island and the like pours from the sky just before the rain.

Magnificent scene. The processing is right on the mark (IMHO).

Nice work.

If you mean by; "the processing is right on the mark", that the highlights are blown to hell, ok then I agree! (IMHO)

Thanks for the kind comments ! Blown highlights?? ::) They may or may not be but I'll tell ya what! I'll take blown highlights and mood over technical perfection and dull any day of the week.

Aloha,
no reason you can't have both...

I usually find that blown highlights leap out at me. If there are any here (and I don't think it's clear that there are), they do nothing to spoil a wonderful image.

Totally agree!

It's a magnificent image. Blown highlights/crushed shadows sorry I don't care. I'll take aesthetics over technical perfection any day.

I decided to download the image - something I rarely do - and opened it in PS and added a threshold layer. Not one overexposed pixel but a few at the 254 level which is borderline. Very finely processed imo. If someone thinks there is overexposure then the calibration on the monitor may be off?

Wonderful light and composition. The reflection in the water is bright, as it is supposed to be. There is a difference between blown highlights, and strong brightness...

Concur that it's not technically blown, but I wouldn't mind seeing just a touch more detail in the clouds. That said, if the light at the scene was what I think it was, this is solid work in post. In any case, very nice shot.

Some years ago the "dogma" was that highlights should be 245 245 245 and the dark areas should be 12 12 12 which meant that there was detail to be seen in these areas. Then most photographers realised that a small amount of clipping was more pleasing. It seems that some photographers still like the former.
