Plains of the Great West

Comment by SJCarter:
Nice perspective and natural colors. The top edge of the land looks a little processed to me (could just be me!), maybe leftover from selective layer work? Still, nice job - and I like the border on this one! :-)

Beautiful reflection. The slightly overexposed land and the underexposed foreground are distractions. Have you considered burning/dodging those areas to bring out a little more? Still, nice shot. EDIT: I think the white border might make these 2 things more noticeable too.

I agree that this shot has a lot of potential. The rocks and colors could use a bump or two IMHO. The water is great - no blown highlights.

Comment by TooCool:
Of the three, this one is IMHO the best by far, but still is lacking a little. It needs what Bearmusic would call luminosity! The rocks are quite dark and could use a little more detail/texture. I would try using your favorite method of selecting to grab the water, invert the selection and use that as a mask to selectively play with the levels of the rocks.

I'm soooo glad this era has passed!! I nice shot. Good B&W tones. The photo is a good fit into the challenge, IMO. Maybe a wider view of the outhouse would make a slightly more pleasing photo. A shot that gives a wider sense of the area, including more trees, might convey the walk to the outhouse from the living cabin.
