Description
I've been meaning to reprocess this for a long while now. The colours were a bit off in the 1st version. This one is closer, but still has some unwanted shadow magentas. I blended the fg from 2 exposures to get a thinner looking mist.I drove 4000km to get to altitudes of over 2300m with decent mountains and spent sunrises in sub zero winds on mountain slopes, but the best two shoots I had was along the N2 highway while driving to and from the mountain areas, just getting lucky with light. It feels as if I am destined to shoot waterscapes

definately prefer this one, although i can't quite exactly remember what bugged me about the last one, but I remember that it wasn't quite as perfect as you usually get it...
i really like how the rocks stand out now, the highlights on them are gorgeous.
good work dude!

Thanks Man. The other one was very magenta and the sky had a very weird luminosity. It was a very weird sky to start with. Those bright cirrus colours smeared with the exposure. I did a lot of color manipping in raw to get to this.

"So sick of them" I could smack you for that. I'd give almost anything to get some shots of the ocean. But I see what you're saying. I'm sick of looking at a lake, yet I'm sure there's someone somewhere that for whatever reason, would love to be near a lake. It's not always that easy being content with what we have, even if what we have is beautiful. Photographers need variety, darn it!

Hammer! I like it! The composition is not common, very good colors. The best Detail for the rocks in the Left edge of the Picture, this makes good balance!

You are good at them!
Better luck in the mountains next time although I don't think I've seen them yet so I expect those will make me equally sick
