I think the third one is best of the set in that the fence is nicely placed and leads towards the contrast between the darker foreground and sun splashed hills.

:agree:

A little PProcessing with layers and saturations would make it really shine.

I also agree. 3rd is the best and could be better with a bit of work.

It has been said already but it is right. #3 is a winner and needs just a little more drama to set it off. Composition is excellent!! :thumbs:

Thanks for replys :)

First 2 were kind of a testing ground for me. I didn't know wether I liked them or not.

I had done a little PP on the 3rd but I am always afraid to push it past the point of looking real. It's prolly cause I ain't proficient enough in PS though :)

How about this....

Here's what I did:
3 layers and masks
-1 Foreground: boost saturation (RGB) and sharpen
-2 Midground: selective saturation + dodge and burn on shaddows
-3 Sky pulled/pushed the blue and cyan
Flatten image
Finally cropped off a bit of the foreground.

Yes that does seem richer and more contrasty :)

That is better but I think you could push the sky a bit more to add a real sense of tension. Great shot!

I think you cropped too much of the fence too tbh. Otherwise nice processing.
