Vale

[Quentin88]

#1


#2

#2 softer version

The Goal: Draw the viewer "down to the vale"
The Doubt: These pictures are on my "discarded pile", because the high dynamic range (zone in full sunlight and zone under clouds shadows) there are over and underexposed zone through the pictures, a multiexposure was needed.

You have the benefit of leading lines to lead the viewer throughout the image; so I think your goal of leading the eye has been accomplished. In the first image, a bit of shadow adjustments would bring out the tonal range contained within the image. In the 2nd image, the sky is so dominant that it competes with the valley floor for attention, but I wouldn't change it as it adds a good color contrast to the foreground objects.

Yes, Pellegrino, I have doubts about these as well.

The leading lines followed by the valley work perfectly as you intended. But I'm not sure about having so much dark foreground without any real features.

Possibly a slight crop from the bottom and, I suppose, the right side might be worth trying. Or a different size ratio and leave the sides?

Certainly a good sky with #2 but those foreground yellow flowers aren't sharp, particularly the one on the right so a crop would help there.
