Lovely pic:thumbs:

Really is a nice shot Marcel :) love the composition and all the lines. The sky is something else and I really like the backlighting on the clouds on the left. I would maybe tempted to bring out some of the detail on the hill side if it was mine, but that might ditract from the rest of the image I guess.

:thumbs:

I love pics like that, in itself it is a good pic, but then the subject starts to make me think things like 'do they know each other?' then if they do 'must be having a bit of a domestic, with the distance between them'

Superb sky, how did you do it? filter or HDR?

[Shak]

The sky makes that photo.

I like the candidness of two people just sitting there just generally looking. The sort of thing Oasis would have on one of their covers. :)

[Grendel]

Now that is good :clap: Very well seen, beautifully composed and superb processing. I agree with Hawker, you really do wonder if those two know each other or not :)

[Lady Pitstop]

Excellent shot! Just like the others have said, it makes you wonder if they know each other :)

[Yv]

I reckon they were walking the dog and stopped to admire that sky ;) Very nicely caught Marcel and excellent processing! :thumbs:

[ShawWellPete]

I agree with what's already been said. This is a cool shot. Did you HDR it?

[Grendel]

Did you HDR it?

rofl I was wondering that too but was afraid to ask :lol:

[ShawWellPete]

rofl I was wondering that too but was afraid to ask :lol:

Why? Is Marcel scarier than he looks?;)

[Grendel]

No, but discussing HDR is ;)

[Byrhtnoth]

Great capture :thumbs:
Would be intrested to hear if you used a filter or processing.

[Mikharper]

It's good obviously, but I would like to see one without the people too.

[Marcel]

Its entirely processing I will happily admit!

Many thanks for all your lovely comments :)

It is indeed HDR'd. Three TIFFs from one RAW file, all three processed in Lightroom, then from there to Photomatix, HDR'd and Tone Mapped. Then from there into Photoshop. With a slight curves layer to accentuate the midtones, and thats it.

I'll resize the shot straight out of Lightroom to show you the original :)

[Hawker]

If I were you I'd put that forward for the 2008 calendar :) Superb piece of HDR'ing

[Forbiddenbiker]

I agree with all of the above.

Superb. :clap::clap:

[Boon]

absolute stonker marcel, that sky is to die for, and a lovely composition all round.

[Janice]

I know Ive said this before, but you have suddenly become rather good of late!! :D

Great shot, well done.
