I’m not really getting much of a feeling of depth or distance. That’s a shame too because I think with that path in the foreground you are trying hard to lead me in. I just feel the distant hills and sky are a bit flat and almost seem to merge together. Did you use a polariser on the sky? I suspect that this darkneing down of the sky might be what has caused this effect.
Hi andy- Looking back on the originals it seems i did use a polariser but the bay and mountains seem engulfed in a haze. I tried to bring down their levels relative to the sky- but I guess I couldn’t find a balance – looking at it now the top 2/3 of the image is just unresolved. Thanks for your input. John
