A few shots I took this afternoon

One camouflaged cow...

Early dusk on the fells

Another view, half an hour or so later...

Hi Alt.
Nice shots but again I'd suggest you play about with the levels in photoshop to bring them popping out to their best vibrance.

 

[altyfc]

Thanks... will give it a try.

I feel I must stress that I don't really know what I'm doing here, but here goes...

#2 redux is excellent. Mind I try something in photoshop?

 

[rob91]

The original #2 is superb, IMO the edit ruins it. It's a delicate balance of shade and colors that works very well, I suggest not messing with it.

The other two pics don't do much for me.

Does 'redux' mean the re-worked version? If so, this conflicts with rob91's comments, yes?

No, not at all... please feel free.

The tree in the background in number 1 is a potential interesting subject.

I conflict - I thought the edit was better but it might be boiling down to who has the better monitor... I've a Dell 30" what have you got? ldman:

Yes, I like the edit better. I've got a AL1916W (Acer) though.

Camouflaged cow, I took the original, added some contrast with a Soft Light layer on top and a dark gradient to normalize the sky a bit.

Same thing with early dusk, dramatic sky given justice =p

The original third doesn't need to be retouched IMO.

Cheers

I was going to say that you had too much sky in #2 but with [JR]'s edits, I really like #2, yet all great shots!

Hehe, thank you Jaymz77
