>>3188382Yeah that's a nice crop, it really shows off that beautiufl S curve of the houses leading in. Very nice black and white conversion too. I see some slight bright haloing around the big tree and the hills in the back left, but that's hard to avoid when doing multiple conversions sometimes. Great work.
>>3188558Something about the orange color of the mountains I don't like. There are a couple bright spots on the clouds that stand out. Also I think a little more could be taken off the top of the crop to avoid the square crop. Sometimes square crops look good, but I don't think this is one of those cases. The brightness of the clouds compared to the land is very natural and believable, good work on that aspect. Thanks for contributing.
>>3188554I'm not so sure a narrow band is is the answer, but I agree that something doesn't look right with my atmospheric perspective. Here's an example of real atmospheric perspective where the effect is very obvious, and it seems like a gradual transition to me. Maybe my blur of the distant background is what's giving it an unpleasant look.
>You increase contrast closer to the edges of the frame in the ground and sky. Same effect, less obvious, better results imho.I did in increase contrast and detail in the foreground. I think if I applied the effect any more heavily it would look fake. I used curves to bring up the contrast in the foreground and high pass to bring up the detail. Appreciate your feedback, I'll be much more careful with my application of digital atmospheric perspective next time.
