Misty trees

I can't make my mind up wether I like these or not.

What do you guys think?

Are they worth doing more with?

The first shot makes a fantastic shot cropped to pano just level with the top of the mist. Otherwise it's like two shots divided along the centre?

The 2nd is a fantastic shot, but I'm not sure it succeeds as a picture or if you can do much with it.

Would it be possible to clone out the thin stick tree to just leave the main one (in picture 2)? I find the "stick" tree distracting. :)

I'm not too good at PS, but something like this.....

Ignore me if you don't like it!

I agree with CT re the first shot. Very surreal!

[siejones]

Thanks for your ideas :)

Gonna try that crop.

Photostar 1: I see no image :(

What about this?

That's great Sie - works really well. I can see why you've cropped it, but I'd at least try another version with that foreground detail on the right which you've omitted - the stones and stuff. I'd be inclined not to crop the bottom at all to keep some foreground interest and detail. Might be worth trying a HDR version to make the most of the detail?

I'd have that on my wall no problem! :clap:

Thanks CT :)

I could bring quite a bit of ground detail back but I kind of thought this shot was about the Silhouetting of the trees.

This edited version is from a second shot I had taken zoomed in a bit. I did crop a bit off the right but there isnt as much as the first shot.

Would anyone like to see it with more foreground detail?

That's much better. I'd be tempted to dodge and burn the clouds for a bit more atmosphere, but then I've been wrong before... who me?

[siejones]

oldigt: Thanks. I always F'up dodge and burning :)

CT: I just spotted you Names description. Made me laugh out load :lol:
