Nice sky and lovely warm colours Padraig, though I think the front bale
looks a little overpowering, if a little more space were given in front
of it, it might have been better?Thanks Jenny. Don’t do many landscapes. Was trying out my new wide angle. Thanks for commenting.
I like it. nice sharpness all the way through and composition is good (for me). The eye runs nicely top the mountain in the background. Is the sky just a little dark?, Is this teh original sky or is it a nuber of exposures merged?
Thanks RAS. It is the original sky but HDR processed. I tried not to over do it.Here is a non HDR version
Thanks Austin. I’m inclined to agree. I never quite know what I’m doing when it comes to HDR, just messing about with sliders!
Hi Padraig.
The non-HDR version looks good, but I prefer the warmth of the bales in the HDR version. I would be happy with either of them. Well doneMaybe just a contrast boost to the sky or copy the layer and set it to an overlay blending mode with a capacity of around 50% and paint in with a layer mask for the sky only. The HDR does bring out nice detail in the straw
Maybe a little more contrast in the sky,
It looks a tad flat,
Otherwise its a fine shot.Hi Padraig. As has been mentioned, that sky is more of an issue in my opinion than the bales. I’m guessing you didn’t use a polariser? That should have been enough to bring up a good sky I’d say. Still something I like about it though. Have a similar one myself but your composition has more impact.
Thanks everyone for all the comments. I’ll take another look at the sky as suggested. I actually did use a polarizer, but it was a cheap ebay one and I expected better results. I must invest in a quality one. As I said earlier I don’t do much landscape so i really appreciate the feedback. :D
