I was sitting in the middle of a bridge overlooking the Harbor in Harbor Oregon. I was attracted to the S curve of the path that I had traveled many times this past summer with my wheelchair. So seeing it from above was interesting.
Processing in ACR I hit the auto button and it looked good. From there I did the point color for green where I took down the hue added saturation and luminance Then I did a yellow point color and upped the saturation and luminance. I masked the sky and took down the highlights, upped the shadows and put a linear gradient where I lowered the whites.
Then brought it into Photoshop to crop it.

Darcy n strong scape with a very strong leading line. The bit of cloud in the sky wraps the composition up well. I would suggest cropping off the top of the image above the cloud. That bland sky does not help with the impact.

Really nice lines Darcy! I prefer the original sky a bit more than your final image, I like that tiny pink hue as well as it's a bit brighter.
I agree with Francois that the top doesn't add to the impact and think cropping it off would make it a stronger image. Posted: 04/19/2025 19:39:53
