Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks, I really have not explored movements and am not sure when they are needed. Your thoughts are helpful.

...love the separation of tonal values in the sky and the side-lit trees. Also maybe a sense of foreboding...leaving the serenity and sunshine and moving towards a colder, more darkly rugged and mysterious place...a progression which I also embrace - so long as I can return to the sunshine!

Had to wait a fairly long time before the sun broke through. And I saw the scene with the background lit up and a darker foreground. But that didn't happen. Came out good the other way round too, but with a very different feeling and mood.

Lassethomas, this is an exceptional fine image, a real pleasure.

Just one question - on my monitor the print looks very slightly dark - did you print it that way ?

Yes it's meant to have a very dark white point. Making it to bright takes away a lot of the mood I think. It becomes to up-front so to say.
But there is a hard to balance tipping point from mood to too dark. Maybe I overdid it this time.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Oooh, that's dandy. Love the sky, snd particularly like the four bright parralel lines carrying the eye into then distance. I like that the tonal range is of the image lets those bright features in the road and utility line stand out. Well done!
