Took this at 7-30 this morning. Only pp is a crop didnt think it really needed anything else as was after the silhouette effect which think works quite well. Still feel free to rip it up lol
Wow - what a location - worth getting up at o'dark 30 for
Great composition, and I love the pano crop (of course).
Worth having a play with a slight tweak clockwise on the horizon?
Also worth having a look at the image histogram and having a play with levels.
You can see the original image data is pushed towards the left (black) end of the histogram in version #1 - and peaks out at around 190/255
That's a chunk of dynamic range to disgard - so you could move your white point in to say 193, and still preserve the nice dark silhouette of the castle. (As in picture #2)
Great shot Allan. I would only tweek the horizonal a touch as Chris suggested. Interesting perspectives from Chris and Adrian on other adjustments. They both look good; one emphasising the silhouette, the other the sky. I still prefer your original as having the best balance.
I often see sunrises and sunsets on the Rocky Mountain Front that river your sky. But the reflections? None here. I like how you got both to be so prominent.
NIce!
