Title: What is your take on processing these image?
Post by: ErikKaffehr on December 27, 2014, 02:53:36 pm: Hi,

This picture has been stitched from five images. There has been significant manipulation of colour, mainly different colour temperatures at the top and at the bottom using graduated filters in Lightroom. Do you feel it is overprocessed?

Best regards
Erik

Happy new year!

It looks very good to me, apart from a slightly odd colour cast to the snow in the foreground.

Post by: ErikKaffehr on December 28, 2014, 04:07:08 pm: Hi Rajan,

Next time I get there I will try your suggestion. That place is close to where I live, 15 minutes by car and 15 minutes on foot.

Best regards
Erik

Post by: BobDavid on December 29, 2014, 12:14:16 am: ... other than the snow in the foreground, very nice post processing. You've done the heavy lifting; tweaking the snow will be trivial. Or if you don't want to tweak the snow, put a little magenta into the sky.

Post by: mediumcool on January 01, 2015, 11:46:24 am: Highlighted snow in foreground is red-magenta IMO, but best move would be to crop the left (leaving the single island).

IMO.

Post by: PeterAit on January 02, 2015, 03:33:47 pm: For my tastes, it has been overprocessed - but skillfully and just a little! I wonder if the lighthouse and perhaps the snow could be a bit lighter - and also a bit whiter? You'd have to try these ideas and see how you like them. Nice photo!.
