Mont-Blanc is the highest moutain in west. It is covered with glaciers which, year by year, decrease in lenght and thickness because of global warming. The summit is not the enlightened spot on left. The sommit is the low landform look like a dome on right. Ice is around 40m thick. So the real altitude of Mont-Blanc, in taking into account the rock surface, is about 4770m high.
This photography is real, nothing has been added in it. However, it is transformed into a drama landscape with luminar4. That's a try. If you look to the light directin, it is obvious that the sunlight source does not deal with lightning of granitic rocks at the foreground. I made a try to observe how that software as better, or not, compared with Lr. Luminar is a powerful soft. Nevertheless, I'll keep on using my Lr6 and Darktable, both of them are more flexible and contain, to me, more specific tools.
To my eyes, the granitic rocks at the foreground are too bright, too colorful, and detract from the majestic composition.
Everyone would crop this differently, but I would lose about the bottom 1/3 of the rocks.
Congratulations on being there and capturing this great image.
yes, I tried to improve the effect in changing into b&w. I cropped the photography in a 16/9 frame because I don't to loose the majestic effect in front of a such landscape. More over, I want to conserve the symetric effect on left and right with the "gentle" sloppes.
Thanks for your feedback with wich I agree. Maybe the version included in that frame may be more satisfaying. But it's too bright!
Personally I'm not a big luminar fan. Oftentimes its filters just cry fake to me. I'm with Boy W Camera here: it just takes away from the powerful composition, which I really like. I think some manual editing would do the composition justice 😉 would be interesting to see the original, though.
