Like the original. The mood is more appealing. But that's me. Ed

I agree. In fact, I might tone down the sky a bit.

Different shot, same set. Not hdr, but super photoshopped. Any thoughts?

Great photo, You wake up to that every morning ? I want to live there, I always said I would move to the mountains far away from every one else if I could.
That must be awesome.

Well, its not foggy every morning. ;-) But indeed, this is the view from my deck. I am a pretty lucky lady, there is no denying that!

Stunning view. I like your original shot better; part of the image's strength is in the contrast and depth of the trees and fog. Those details get lost in your second image.

I love the clouds and the fog in all the versions you have displayed.. Stunning really... I find that I wrestle with these types of shots trying to get the colors of the sky and the trees below to both be correctly exposed... Awesome photos..

thanks so much! It took me a week with the files to come up with something I liked! It was much harder than I thought it would have been. Now to decide which to print!

I like the second shot and the light coming through the foreground trees. On the first shot, could you maybe make an adjustment brush and just burn down the hot clouds area?

Now that you mention it, I have been looking towards the bright spot. Not sure why I didn't think to fix it.

How is this?

Beautiful. A bit dark, but i think that adds to the mood.

I am pretty sure I had this done yesterday, but it was not showing up, so re-did the nom just now.

Original for me too...

Very impressive. Is that actually a bank of clouds rolling over the ridge?

It sure is! We are often above the clouds here. It's even prettier in person, I think.

If it's not too much to ask, where is this? I think at times it would be nice to live places like that but inevitably it's a long drive to any amenities. I'd hate to have to drive a 1/2 hour each way to get groceries or something.

Also, just make prints of all of them and choose which one you'd like to hang on your wall when you see them in person. Unless you're doing really big prints they don't cost all that much. You put your name on the one so that one obviously means something to you.
