A very dramatic image! My answers to your questions would be"no" and "yes" as I think there is more than a hint of blue and it is rather dark. I would crop some off the top to remove the burnt out sun which brings the horizon nicely onto a third. These are only my personal opinions and it is an attractive shot as presented.

Thanks for the info Pete, no problem.


I like how Geoff has cropped this. I have used something similar, however I tried to restore it to what it might have looked like, - partly photoshop, partly guesswork.

I have uploaded a mod so you can see it looks a lot less blue. I have also cropped out the larger tree on the right. So its brighter, and less blue.

If you have photoshop, - theres a hidden trick for quickly checking for a colour cast. It will apply a change to any cast you have deliberately put there, so use with caution. Make a layer copy. Then Image>adjustments>Match colour. In the dialogue box, click Neutralise. You can vary the amount with the slider.


regards

hi there, both of the mods are good options, i dont take many landscape photos as i am disabled and dont always find it very easy to get out and about, but i am trying to broaden my range of photography.
