There "appear" to be some significant areas of "color noise"/artifacts (magenta/viridian) in the cliffs left and right? I would liked to have seen a bit more of the green grass foreground for slightly more gradual transition to talus field in midground... maybe. /B

Feedback welcome.

Stunning. Looks like a waterfall of cloud.

I'd like to see a b&w version, however. It would eliminate the postcardish impression that is somehow at odds with the scary nature of the rolling clouds.

Post by: sdwilsonsct on August 15, 2019, 02:46:13 am: Many thanks, folks. This location is regularly interesting but that day was special.

Slobodan: I thought the green grass and blue sky helped to enhance the centre darkness. I'll try b&w soon.

Brandt: Yes, there are a bunch of artifacts as I am travelling and working on an iPad. I like Snapseed a lot, but it has its limits. I'll redo this when I'm home.

Post by: Rajan Parrikar on August 16, 2019, 04:21:35 am: It is a remarkable scene. However, it needs a little tonal balancing work, in my view, to take the focus away from the bright top and centre it lower.

Thanks, Rajan, Chris, Sandro.
