I took these because I liked the way the sun was bringing out the reddish-browns despite the sky being almost black. Whether they work as photos, I’m not certain.
The first image is a straight conversion from RAW – not even a USM. No.2 is cropped and then sharpened slightly. Offer your suggestions (even if that includes the recycle bin).
I like the first pic, the colors in the botoom two thirds really work well, but that sky is so dark an ominous that a b & w conversion may do something for it.
Second pic is okay, but I don’t find myself drawn to it as much as the first pic.
To my eye the clouds look more threatening..maybe cos they are more defined..and I like the foreground element too and the curves of the hills in the background.
