About the Image(s)

This is a scene taken just south of the Lofoten islands, Norway. I adjusted the colors by increase the the orange to catch the tint on the light mist on the shore and I toned down the yellows. I opened up the shadows so the village on the shore is just about visible. Cropped the foreground minimally.

Albert,
Great scene with subtle processing to bring out the details. I wonder if there are any details in the islands in the foreground?
Love the far mountains and the sky.   Posted: 01/11/2018 08:24:02



 
Beautiful light and colors. I like the capture of the sun setting at this point making the far mountains glow. I think you might adjust only to reveal a little more of the village, if possible.   Posted: 01/13/2018 10:35:49

I like the light and colors. The very top sky seems to have a little bit of a green cast, and it might help to select that part and either darken or add another complimentary color from the image to it.   Posted: 01/15/2018 14:48:38



 
Albert, I happened to take another look from my desktop computer. I am wrong about revealing more. I think the monitor on my tablet is way off. Sorry!   Posted: 01/15/2018 17:32:12

I love the symmetry of the hills on each side which leads my eye to the beautifully lit peaks in the background and those stunning colors in the sky. You have just enough light on the village to know that it is there without being obtrusive.   Posted: 01/18/2018 09:36:53

Another nice picture from Norway. The mountains, the clouds, and the colors make the image. I would try to show a little more from the water and the small islands, opening up the foreground. On the other hand, I would keep the mountains dark, to show only their silhouettes. As Bob noticed, the sky has a greenish tint, which is perhaps natural but seems somewhat strange.   Posted: 01/18/2018 20:56:25
