happy holidays and new year to all this is most likely the last shot of 2018 and it has been an awesome 6 months of learning this craft im excited to learn more next year and grow in this craft also may have new gear to play with.....
heres the shot let me know what you think
also added a revision with more contrast no orton and a bit more color
last shot of 2018
The framing is wonderful though not sure I'm loving the processing. Image feels underexposed, and the orton effect im seeing is kind of making the image just feel blurry rather than dreamy. Also I think there could be a more interesting contrast with the foreground grass and sky, playing around with oranges and reds. Hope this doesn't sound too critical as I do like the shot a lot.
not critical at all... exactly the kind of response im looking for thank you.
the Horton effect was to soften the sun it was a bit harsh i was shooting without filters since this was on a whim and not planned but i could definitely lighten it up a bit ill tool around with it
Yeah a blown out sun can be annoying, maybe a radial filter in camera raw can fix it.
nice thought i give it a go
did this rendition without the orton
