Road to the Sleeping Giant

[Rebel]

Taken on Sunday, I have driven this road many times but never really noticed this amazing view!

They must of cut down a few trees or something?

I've also realised if I stand on my car roof that I can get the lush green fields behind the hedge in the shot too... I'll be going back soon

A lovely scene, well composed. I would prefer to see the bottom right lead in line created by the road to be coming directly from the corner. All of that said, for my taste, this lovely image is way over processed. I would encourage you to go back to the original and tweek it with a less is better approach. I would love to see a second version of this that incudes my comments and then hear your thoughts on v.2

Nicely captured.

Shot of the Giant please.

Matt I love this. The composition and the treatment are brilliant IMO. I was a fan of HDR treatment in my Canon days. Good work.

Thanks for the views/comments all.

Thanks Richard.

I tried that crop before this one and it didn't really work for me.

Also with regards to the 'over-processing' I can completely understand why some people (probably most on this particular forum) would prefer less processing, but I really like the look of it personally and thats who I aim to please

I took another shot of this just before sunrise this morning, so maybe I'll go a little easier on the processing on that later.

Considering that your style of processing has been discussed, I'll mention that though it's not my cup of tea I admire that you use it so consistently.

This is the type of shot that I would struggle with the placement of the road. It's clear that I should take lessons from you.

It works for me Matt! Lovely!

Lovely shot Matt I would erase the halos at the edges of the mountains.

I'm smiling now and Binnur probably knows why.
