Sunrise, near Ratlinghope Shropshire. I love the mist over the hills amd the general serenity of the image.
After completing a series of training sessions using curves, this was the first photograph I edited using nothing but curves.

Hi Irishkate.
Many thanx for your modification. Sadly I am viewing via my ipad and not my desktop, so i am struggling to see any variance on your modification. However once i get back to dektopviewing i shall be very keen to compare your mods with mine, as often the subtlest of differences can have an amzing effect...
Phil
I can totally see your point with the sky and appreciate your crop. I do think that it loses some of its light by doing this, but nonetheless it is a great alternative as it adds more focus to the landscape.
Thank you for your comments and modification
Quote: This is a nice image, but i wonder if you have used the dodge tool a bit on areas of the mist to live them? The tones look just a little unusual. You give us no technical data to go on.

Sorry Paul for the lack of info...however the dodge tool is not something i ever use. All of the editing on this photo was done using curves andnothing else,as it was the first photograph i edited after doing a series of curves sessions on Kelby training.
As has been said, the receding 'layer effect' works really well, as does, I think, Phil's crop.
Interesting that you've only used 'curves' on this. I'd be intrigued to see the original.
I like it.
Bren.
Nice shot Louise. A couple of comments.
The exif data is incomplete, - so click that upload page link I mentioned on your other photo; the aperture used is a little wide for a landscape shot, - but I dont know which lens you used, so I can recommend a generic f/8 - f/11 at this focal length.
While using th Kelby method for curves, if you didnt come across the approach where you use Threshold with Curves, heres a link: http://www.dpchallenge.com/tutorial.php?TUTORIAL_ID=24
Note that the default settings for black and white are set these days to 0,0,0 and 255, 255, 255 rather than higher than 0 and lower than 255.
Ive used this in the mod, it gives deeper blacks; and I also sharpened the mod, - you need to check your re sized image after saving it, and before uploading it, - open the new image, check sharpness, and sharpen as needed. re sizing can cause loss of sharpness due to compression.
regards
Willie
