Landscape Photography

Hi Christian. Tx for your excellent comment/question. Yes it's done intentionally. I have other foothill scenes "whacked out" as I call them. Some of the scenery in a desert can become bland but I see the shapes/textures in the rocks and cacti terrain and just like to over colorize it for fun. As another Fstopper commented also on this pic to the effect that maybe this pic is more suitable for the abstract category. Yes I see his point as well. I didn't remove any data (that's way beyond my tech skills!), just masked off the bottom and adjusted the color curve levels option to get a color effect. The top sky portion and some of the ridge rock area in soft grey is what the entire original photo looked like on this unusually dense foggy morning in the Tucson area. So I just started to try to enhance the color/saturation and ended up going to extremes with the color curves tool. I appreciate you taking time to comment. Best, Debra

Hi Jean-francois. Yes, probably more suitable for an Abstract category. I see your point and had debated whether to post this one v other of my naturally rendered landscapes. Many thanks for taking time to comment. It's definitely a valid consideration as to what belongs in the category. Best, Debra

Thanks so much for taking time to comment. Glad it was a moment for something visually appealing to you!!
