Winter in the Tyne Valley

[KMRennie]

I was going to call it "Fog on the Tyne" but many won't remember the song and the juxtaposition between grimy Newcastle and this valley in the Pennines would be completely lost. Multi shot panorama Nikon D810 Tamron 24-70 @ 36mm f10. Ken

Except for the trees, which are the wrong kind, it looks like eastern Montana or North Dakota.

Wonderful.

Lovely. I particularly like the faint, distant tree to the right, which seems to create a stop.

I have been juggling with the intensity of that small tree and may use a bit of dehaze to emphasize the lines in the frosty soil leading to the tree plus the tree itself. Ken

Clean, calm, vast… what a beautiful image.
Bravo!

PS: I agree with Jeremy about the "last" tree…

Thanks everyone. Made more of the end stop tree with this one. Ken

[Peter McLennan]

Yes! Better now with the small tree. I missed that element on first viewing. Now, it's a part of the whole. Nice work. Lovely image.

I strongly disagree. The far left tree is much too visible now: the white splodge around it is clearly visible in the thumbnail, albeit a bit less full-size.

The original was much better.

[KMRennie]

You are correct Jeremy the thumbnail looks odd. In the first version I ussd a darken layer to remove the lightening halo caused by the increased contrast in emphasising the far tree. I need to find an image size that shows brightness "hotspots" but has sufficient detail to allow me to use a softlight layer to subtly dodge and burn. I will be back. Ken

[Peter McLennan]

I will be back. Ken

Goodie!
