Title: Clouded mid Summer sunset
Post by: cmi on January 04, 2010, 11:03:20 am

This is a view over Saxony Switzerland near Königstein, a stitch out of 3 vertical images. Done with the 50 1.4 at f2 handheld, hence the blurred branches. I think the view could have been better composed (maybe more tree?), but I love the mood.

Actually I have a specific question here: What do you think about the colors? All in all just right, too saturated, specific color cast, etc, etc. What do you think?

All the best,

Christian

Christian,

I too like the shot, but I think the colours are way off - too much yellow WB, and too much green tint.

I like the shot, too, but even my color-blind eyes also say the colors look strange -- perhaps too much yellow and/or green, as Ed says.
