Thanks Andrey, very nice blend job. I am thinking the mountain looks a bit too bright for the rest of the image, but I like the sky.

Hi Jim, not sure you saw my last take on this which is so far my favorite. Your has a good tonal range, but seems a bit flat.



Those were jpgs, we have not figured out how to embed raws. I am not sure what muddy means, unless lack of contrast. In my most recent redo, I feel like it is pretty crisp, there is fog/haze in the valley below the sun, and of course the large mountain at the right is in complete shade, but I feel like I have provided enough detail short of an HDR treatment to work.

Anyway, I do appreciate your dropping by and telling me what you think because it will help give me a sense of what's expected by others.

I was wondering what the muddy meant too

Looks fine to me. You have the mountains and the foreground just about perfect and I could maybe go a bit more dramatic on the sky, but heck thats a matter of taste and easy to do.

Darcy, we have a really easy but powerful tutorial on blending in the Article section. If you haven't read that and tried it, I would suggest that you check it out.
