Really like that photo Paul. The contrast between the dark, evil looking, sky and grass of the rolling hills. My only problem is that the dark cloud that I like so much is a bit over powering. My eye keep pulling to it when I'm looking at the lines of the winding road.

Firstly can I say ... I have learnt so much in the last couple of months since joining AP, by attending a couple of meet ups, then when I was trying for about 12 months to do it on my own and just kept reverting to Auto on my camera!! Think I should have checked out this forum better tho!!! but I will now start working my way through the 'Learning Center.'
So here I go!! I do like #1, and feel it is an improvement (of what I have taken in the past)because of what I'm trying to take in and put together!!! but think the stick in the middle is a bit distracting and my pp skills aren't up to cloning it out!!!! #2 thought Sepia may be more in keeping but feel its a bit too yellow!

Oops! sorry somehow #1 got put up twice!!!!

Hi Jacs14,
I really love your images.
No. 1 the best, its smooth in feeling, I like the water running effect.
the composition too. (Im a newbie as well) but thats my 2 cents worth. Looking forward to
hearing what the more knowledgable have to say.

Thanks Chilli ... I am pleased with these, but wonder if they will fall into the catergory of - in 12months or so, when hopefully I know and understand more, i will look again and think 'EEWWWW!!!! you got that wrong, and that stick .... arrggghhh!!!!'

To Goodallphotography, I think youve done a great job at achieving an outcome, assumedly you wanted to show the dark and looming cloud formation coming over, I like it. To give it a little more tonal varience I would try put lightening the foreground with a graduated exposure change of about 0.4 of an exposure. To me that would add the all the difference it needs to be a fantastic print.
