What a beautiful and peaceful scene and a great composition - almost dreamlike. That said, I thought the scene was so beautiful that it needed a bit more contrast, so I added texture and contrast across the board and added the skylight filter twice in the Nik Suite to bring out the color a bit more. Having done that, this may not be the scene you saw, but I liked it so much I wanted it to pop a bit more. I also cropped in a bit and place the horizon line on the rule of thirds line because I thought it was a little better balanced that way - LMK your thoughts Posted: 03/05/2025 22:14:34
