Post Christmas walk over Cleeve Common to the Three Sisters viewpoint, a group of 3 trees on the edge of the escarpment, the smaller tree is a recent replacement to the original a few years ago, hence its size. I was hoping for a more dramatic sunset in the end I was taken with the simple orange to blue gradiant which really showed the detail in the tree silhouetted against the backdrop of the sky. I've tried to bring up a bit of detail in the foreground shadows. Although I like the tranquility of this image Im not sure if the other image with the two people works better adding that bit of human element to the scene, Be interested in your thoughts
Cheers Rob
Nice sunset! I prefer the one with people in as I find it more engaging and I like the higher viewpoint you used to take this - I'm just wondering if those bright lights on the lower left are distracting or not? Interesting seeing the two variants.
It is interesting that both variations work and I have taken this shot on a number of occassions. I have almost always avoided people in the shot and have had around 20 salon acceptances and club awards with this scene. A winter shot in the morning is also attractive as the ground in front of the trees is golden. Thanks for showing the images.
