Around the bend.

A marsh down in Scarborough, ME. Cold windy day. Thoughts on processing?

#3 Wish I could go further back but there was a building in the way.

I really enjoyed the first one. Love the way the sky is reflecting off the muddy area and the stream. =)

I like them all. #1 seems a touch oversaturated to me. I think it's cyan in the sky, where the other two have richer blue to match the rest of the scene.

great work. But too bad you don't have a FF

Thanks. It was a weird lighting situation to be honest. The sky was warm and the water and mud were very cool.

Ha I needed a medium format.

Love them all and I too wish you could have gotten further back in the last one. Could you possible get on top of the roof of the building ? I think that would make for an awesome angle. Nice work and processing seems very good to me.

I dig the riff on Horseshoe Bend in the third one.

The processing has resulted in one of the Approved Palettes although I'd like to see a little more red in the oranges there if you want to match the couch properly.

More seriously, it doesn't "feel" cold, I think because the red/yellow is too saturated. And it certainly doesn't feel windy, what with the water being glass. It feels in fact a little surreal. There are elements that feel cold, and elements that do not, so it's not quite consistent in the impression I get from it. Is that good? Bad? I dunno. It's how it takes me.

I thought about the roof and tried but it was too high.

You caught that huh? That was my first thought when I saw it. A mini horseshoe.

I get what you are saying about palettes and temps. Its hard to describe the scene it was cold but it was golden hour and bright blue skies. I do keep my camera WB on the warm side which may account for the mixed temp feelings. Also that grass lights up light crazy in the sun.

SOOC is pretty much the same color temp as the end result.

I really like the first one. That would be on a canvas on my wall The last one just feels a little darker to me. Not sure why.

Thanks barb, the last one if posted was straight out of camera so Amilotor could see.

Yup, I meant the third one at the top. And it's not too dark, just seems darker. (If that makes any sense?) I like it, but I like the first two better.

I guess I'm the only person who prefers #3!

I love it. Great work with the sunlight in the bottom-left corner...leaving it visible and not vignetted. If only the right edge of the water weren't out of the crop.

To me the processing makes it seem less than real so doesn't give a feeling of what it was like there. In the last one it looks like the exposure was off to start with which seems to be why people sometimes end up doing so much editing. I like the composition particularly of the first one, and love how you got the reflection of the clouds in the water.

Thanks for the compliment I but I disagree about the exposure. I didn't have my filters with me so I purposely shot a stop lower than normal to preserve the sky detail. I knew that in post I could bring up the darker bits easier than I could fix a blown out sky.

I like all of them, especially number 3. Did you use a polarizer for that one? Also, the horizon or the fence in the front looks skewed to me.
