Geehi River again

Hi guys.

Here's a processed shot from Geehi, I had to merge the mountain in and I also reduced the saturation as I think this tonality (almost black and white) suits the image better than a very saturated image.

What do you think?

Sorry to bump this, I'd just like to know whether anyone likes the colour of this image.

Cheers,
Owen.

Works for me. A classic mountain river shot with some subtle post processing. Nice work!

Thanks for the reassurance Matt. I appreciate you looking. I'm just trying a different style than my usual over-saturated landscapes :)

Thanks mate,
Owen.

Mate, this really works for me :)

Particularly like the layout of the subjects, nice things take me from teh foreground through to the nice light on the mountain range in the background, noticing the nice soft sky blue... Couldn't get EXIF, is this early or late? Can't tell :oops:

The reduced sat works nicely, nicely framed, that's a good'n... :)

Are you tempted to add a little highlight levels just to the tips of in the mountain range that's already softly highlighted, to bring 'em out a smidge?

EDIT: Forgot to say, judging by the small version nicely merged too!

Thanks mudder :)

I did select the mountain range and add a bit of a curves adjustment so as to increase contrast as it was a little 'hazy'. Now that you mention it though they still look rather flat, I think I'll have a bit more of a play, thanks very much.

It was taken at sunset, it was an unbelievably long wait after the sun went down where I was to when the mountains turned golden.

Thanks for taking a look Mudder.

Owen.

The wait was worth it...
