The Alaska Gallery

CallibCarver · Jun 16, 2015

It's been far to long since I've posted on the forums, and far to long since I really got out and shot. However I have been working on putting a gallery together and am actually prepping one for show now. Some of the shots are below and I wouldn't mind some C&C on them, please and thank you.

A bit about the gallery
I shot all of these while I was living in Alaska last year, and spent some time climbing the national parks, and even a glacier to get some of the shots. All of them are done in a selective coloring style, which I love working with as it let's me embrace B&W (to a point), while showing off the beautiful colors of the environment.

I think these photos have potential if edited the right way. I mostly like the composition however a wide angle lens would help a lot.
Imo selective coloring is a way of editing that needs to be done very carefully and only to a select few photos of your gallery.
A couple of comments/questions come to my mind regarding the posted photos:

1:
Why are the trees grey in the foreground and green in the background? That makes my brain think something is wrong to begin with.
There is a lot of purple in your photo that shouldn't be there.

2 & 3:
Again purple on the mountains.
The only color is in the sky, but do you really want to draw attention to it?

4:
There is brown soil in the background, so it doesn't look like selective coloring but like burnt trees.

5.
The same as 4.

6.
Orange color spill on the plants.

I think photos 1,2 and 6 would be great with less post processing.
