Taking In The View

[Phil]

This is an old one I've had another play with.

I like this, strong colours against the stormy sky, the only thing I would like is, clone out the yellow bin? next to the seat.

That is stunning Phil and even better viewed large

[Denis]

one word.....stunning!

[kev7d]

That's a nice image. The composition certainly draws you to the 2 characters enjoying the view.

Yet another super picture that shows how much the addition of the human element can really make the landscape 'real' - top job Phil.

[Phil]

Thanks all.

 

 

clone out the yellow bin?

 

It's the Glenfinnan Monument    But you could be right though, you can't see enough of it to appreciate what it is, might be better gone.

Looks good to me, looks like you got wet heading home

The heavens did open before we got back to the car

Lovely shot it looks like a painting........

[FUJI]

Beautifully done Phil.

Wow, that's spectacular! Amazing shot.

 

One minor crit (personal preference perhaps) is that the two central characters are a little 'bright' for that particular scene?

[Korky]

I love how the two characters are surrounded by the dramatic sky, the mountains, the water and the foliage. They come together beautifully to focus the attention on the couple enjoying the view.

 

I can see it's a monument rather than a bin (following your explanation, that is) but I still think it's an intrusion into the image. A dob or two with the clone thingie perhaps?

 

Overall? Top stuff!

As you can probably imagine, me being me, there's been a lot of work done on the image (although the sky hasn't really been touched), mainly with the vibrancy brush and the removal of 3 other tourists and couple of boats that just didn't fit, so I may have over-cooked the jackets a tad.

 

[Edit: Just checked the original. Make that 4 tourists, 2 boats and another bench that've been removed ]

Point taken sir

Phil... as you know I try to produce images as natural as possible, the way my eyes see things. Having said that I do really like what you have achieved here, it's very nice, it has a sort of oil painting look about it. IMO the only improvement would be to remove that rubbish bin (if that's what it is), my eyes seem to get drawn to it.

[MarkNI]

Great work. Lovely image with great colour and detail

[geodar]

at first I thought that the two people were, well not quite right, but the more I looked at the image I came to the conclusion that two walkers taking a rest and taking in the stunning view, I think they add a lot to the image and tell a story making it more than just a scenic shot (if you know what I mean). I would still clone out the bin/monument tho.

Simply beautiful!

Another beautiful landscape well done!
