I need to calibrate my monitor.
The image looks great in LR but when I post to NPN they seem to be coming out with more contrast.
How does this look to you?
OK. Seems like I had two sets of software having a go at each other on my Dell. i1Studio vs ccStudio.
I deleted one so hopefully this will sort it out.
This is a very beautiful image. I must agree with @Bonnie_Lampley, I like the original. The dark moody colors in the water and sky really draw me in. The cloud bank in the BG gives contrast. Great job Andre!
A great dynamic and dramatic moment. The sky in the first picture could work in the latter. However, lower is more functional lighting for me. If you just cut a little from the top and the right, could it condense the expression?
Andre, I am definitely going with the first edit. The dark tones scream drama and force. It is nature showing how powerful it is. I have to say that the darker green in the ocean is mesmerizing in the first edit. What a marvelous moment you captured!
