I am always interested in night shots like this one. It is a very interesting scene.
When I shoot such stuff, I prefer to leave vast stretches of the image in black or near-black, as in the example I am attaching. This preserves the shadows on the people. What do you think? Posted: 09/02/2023 16:38:22

Haha. My comment was for your shot last month. I don't know how I messed up posting it for this month. Posted: 09/19/2023 15:51:04
Thanks for the comments. Wrong photo was posted. The photo you saw was last months that got reposted by mistake. It got fixed but your comments stayed.

Paul posted last month photo by mistake and then fixed it. Posted: 09/19/2023 15:49:39
This is a nice landscape and I love the reflection of the clouds in the water. You have a nice tonal range and a good composition. The bright lower right corner does pull my eye there, but it's snow and you did a good job of preserving the details. Posted: 09/09/2023 14:44:15
James, I really like the monochrome of this image. The clouds and their soft reflections in the lake are magical. Your focus is sharp and you have good tonal range. I agree with Cindy - the bright lower right corner draws my eye. Hard to tell it is snow in the BW version so I took the liberty of taking the image into photoshop to darken it just a bit (-brightness, -contrast, -exposure) with a mask. What do you think?

I agree and like your changes. Posted: 09/19/2023 12:23:33
Love Crater Lake images. Lorna has hit it with softness and darkening. A wall hanger. Posted: 09/19/2023 15:51:03
James, what a lovely landscape image of Crater Lake with the beautiful reflection of the clouds. I didn't have an issue with the snow on the right lower corner as it adds some balance to the clouds. It is really nice in black and white with the shadows, reflections and detail in the trees. Very nice. Posted: 09/19/2023 18:05:33
