    As this was loading I was thinking very nice. The composition is excellent but the varying light becomes a bit of a distraction where there is a bright strip on top of the foreground. Still a great scene though.

    The play of the light is great here, as well as your ability to take the shot out the window of a moving bus with a deaf bus driver :wink:

    To complete this shot it needs some sunlight in the very foreground as its a bit dark and hence unbalancing the shot i think. In the foreground there is some signs of light. I would bring this out more using one of the following (2nd method being my preferred):

    1: The dodge tool set to highlights. Keep rubbing over it to bring out the brightness that are there.
    2: Create a second shot from the raw with the foreground being brightened up. Then mask the foreground from the second shot into the above shot to bring out the slight splash’s of light. Use selective colour to give that foreground some real brightness in the second shot

    Thanks Martin, I’ll try that.
    I thought the light and colours in the foreground where strong enough to hold their own though.

    I dont think so, The greens in the very foreground I would brighten up and give some ump to to balance the picture via method 2 above. Give it a go…
