took this on top of a mountain near my house. super foggy day and black and white seemed to be the best fit for conditions. Let me know your thoughts.



The second one i was attempting to edit this. I was wondering, how do you edit this as an HDR of sorts???? again, super foggy and my rookie edit probably is below par. but great view

You already mentioned about cropping the first one, so I won't comment about that.

The saturation on the second one is over-done for my tastes. I also don't like the "HDR Look", so I hope you don't go that route. I would have cropped the bottom a bit because of the branches. You might look into a black and white there too.

I like the HDR on some pictures but not all. I was just curious on how it's done as I was just playing with stuff. I agree on the black and white. The fog made it odd to really do much with.

Is that a tower or antenna on the left side of the first one?

Probably, I have submerged myself in PP yet. I use NXd to just "play" with images. I don't want to focus on edits yet. My brain can only handle so much with a 2 month old right now haha.

My thoughts, huh?

The first one is not a pleasing composition. The distant view has nothing upon which to settle as the main point, and the near tree is too far to one side to be the subject. The near and far working together do not balance in a good way.

The second has too much uninteresting sky for the amount of ground in the frame. Once again, the foreground is not enough to balance with the distant view.
