30x15" print of The Walden Mountain shot - Final Edit.

[cgipson1]

I recently posted a similar image in http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...mat-he-will-hopefully-like-mountain-porn.html that was in a 3 to 1 format. I decided to rework from scratch for a 2 to 1 print at 30x15". Here is the final edit... the sRGB is a litter darker here than the Adobe RGB I sent to the lab... but you get the idea. I wish I could post the full size image... the detail is really nice. Please ignore the watermark, this is off of Flickr.

Beautiful!! I'd hang THAT in my living room for sure!

Good stuff man. I wish I could see the final output, I bet it's awesome in person.

I like that you opened up the land a little, and gave us more sky. It's still way overcooked for my taste, but your taste obviously differs.

I think the "light rays" are a little much, and they're not convincing.

It's a pretty strong composition with the clouds on the upper edge echoing the shape of the horizon a little, and also closing off the top of the frame for us.

Thank you, Sharon! I have already sold two of the prints on spec... if you want one, I will give it to you at cost! lol!

I understand the "Overcooked" part... it is a matter of taste.. I do like my B&W contrasty! As far as the light rays, that is what was there.. I did nothing to enhance those at all. It was kind of difficult to "find" a final comp... as I just wasn't sure where to put it. I am glad you like it!

Well, the light rays are pretty much not present (ok, I do see some faint variation in vertical stripes) in the version you posted earlier.

Thanks! I haven't seen the print yet.. but other B&W's on Metallic from this lab were absolutely gorgeous. I am looking forward to it.

 

[Ernicus]

ohh, on metallic even...nice.

You laugh, but I'm serious...
PM me what the cost would be. Then I'll tell you HOW serious I might be, lol. I DO have to remember that tripod I'm still saving for...

I don't know if its just me being tired from working on the car in the heat. or what, but does anyone else see the face in the clouds dead center, big pointy nose, deep sunk eyes nestled right between the two snow touched mountains.

dude.. the thread you did with my name on it, it was also 2:1. 3:1 would be cool though . You need to start taking multiple frames to stitch! Dont only only take multiiple frames for HDR .

Good final product!
