Very interesting outcome. Definitely recognisable, especially in atmosphere. Would perhaps consider a bit more muted pastel like colors. No need to go over any tops here (imo, ymmv, ce, etc). I do feel the bottom left is slightly unbalancing the image.
Maybe lifting up the blacks would create a more understated colorappearance and solve the blob. Just a thought.
Thanks for all the feedback everybody. I'll have to revisit this. Unfortunately I'm not even sure I still have the RAW image. This image is a few years old and I used to think backing up my images wasn't that important. Lesson learned!
As long as you dont blow this up too large it will be fine. I only saw to sand because i was pixel peeping to see what the ICM looked like. This is totally a keeper and absolutely lovely work!
Very nice ICM, Kyle. I do also see the sensor spots others have commented on, and Phillip is right about them being more visible in these kinds of images. I've done a load of ICM work myself, and the last thing I do before I finish any of my images is to zoom in to about 200% in Photoshop and go over the entire image to remove any spots that may be there. It's sometimes difficult to see the spots at a lower zoomed in level. Even at 100% I sometimes am not able to see spots that I find at 200%. It can be a painstaking process, but the impact of an image without spots is so much more than one with spots. :) I do hope you'll continue to experiment with ICMs, though. I'm a bit biased, as it has been my primary focus for the past couple years. But, I always love to see others giving it a go!
Beautiful, but it would look better as a large print hanging on a wall.
Really nice, but beware the little spots from sensor dust; they will show up extra hard with this kind of technique.
Agreed - edit those out and this is STELLAR! Like WOW good.
:)
Thank you!

Great mood and colors. Well done.
