Re: Sunset over the oat field

Well... you asked for it - here is the original (as it came from being stitched) with no shadow uplift and a foreground crop. It also still has the power lines in because I couldn't be *rsed to remove them for this exercise.

What think you?

That's exactly what I had in mind with the emphasis on that lovely sky and all else in silhouette.

Cheers,

Thanks John - I may take the time to remove the power lines and stick with this version.

Thanks Ian - what processing did you employ?

Thanks Ian - what processing did you employ?

dead easy to be honest, created a 2nd copy, lightened till the grass was what I wanted, uploaded to PS as a layer then used a mask to paint the light part onto the bottom, probably took longer to type this than do it

with the Raw file could do a lot more
