About the Image(s)
Moab UT was one of the first places I visited after the height of the covid pandemic in 2021. This shot was taken on a hike to Fisher Towers during that trip. The sky was clear blue and not very interesting; a recent shot of the sky after a storm was layered behind the original image. White balance adjustments were made in an attempt to match the tones.

Richard - I love the sky replacement and it definitely adds depth and dimension to the image. I really like how the coral/pink tones of the rocks are also similar to those in the sky. Great job! Posted: 07/16/2024 15:30:01
Thanks! Posted: 07/17/2024 23:02:20
Adding skies to an image isn't the easiest thing to do, but you have matched both very well... Posted: 07/25/2024 20:26:46
Thank you. Posted: 07/26/2024 00:44:16
Post processing definitely makes this photo! The light adjustments to the rocks makes all the difference. The sky replacement makes a big improvement also. I like the diagonal line of the tree that takes your eye right into the photo. Very nicely done. Posted: 07/26/2024 23:37:31
Thanks, it's amazing what a nice sky can do to an otherwise mediocre shot. By the way the sky shot was done with a drone at 400 ft after a storm here in NJ a few weeks ago. Posted: 07/28/2024 23:52:41
I also like the placement of the tree and the sky replacement. You did a great job in post processing. Well seen and well done. Posted: 07/28/2024 18:46:19
Thanks, the tree (the dead one on left) is what caught my eye to take the shot. Posted: 07/28/2024 23:54:29
Richard, Yes, the dramatic sky works well. I loved visiting Mohab. I Went with a PSA group for three days when they advertised, they had two open spaces. I flew to Las Vegas and caught a ride with a Lovely, couple from AZ also traveling to Mohab. Posted: 07/31/2024 14:27:19
Thanks, Moab definitely deserves another trip! Posted: 07/31/2024 23:06:47
Richard - Good one. I like the perfect blending of the two images which resulted a pleasant Image Posted: 07/31/2024 16:35:26
