    The Hunter Becomes The Hunted (Last one, I promise :D)

    ANOTHER shot revisited Again to play with the Nik software.

    I wasn't happy with the original PP I done for this one.

    The shot is of another Photographer who was on the mountain the same time as me, hogging the best spot

    Hi Matt . The photographer looks lost in the image as his clothes have similar colors to the mountains. May be you can add some contrast selectively to the photographer to seperate him from the mountains . I don't know what else can be done for the seperation. I like the dark clouds but I IMO the very dark blue ones distract. I would reduce the saturation on them to see how the sky looks that way. And for the last word, great composition and lovely tones of green !

    Thanks Binnur, I did try a bit of dodge and burn to bring out the photographer. I'll try lowering the saturation on the clouds later

    I like the landscape, wouldn't have noticed the photographer at all if not for Binnur's comments.

    Don't like the other photographer that is what Photoshop is for. Oh look where did he go? Problem solved.

    Cheers: Allan

    "HEY!"

    "Who? Me?"

    "YEAH, YOU WITH THE CAMERA.
    WOULD YOU MIND MOVING OUT OF THE WAY PLEASE?
    YOU'RE RUINING MY SHOT!"

    He got buried in the colour of the foreground...guys! settle down...

    Hey Matt...this was the same B/W shot before and the photographer was still there too...I don't mind the photographer, he got invisible by the foreground anyway....the view is very nice still....just like the way you shot it before...

    Izzie you have lost me there, I've never done this shot in B&W?

    Anyway I've removed the photographer (by popular demand ) and desaturated the sky slightly:

    I thought I saw this image before in B/W...must be in one of the articles I was reading that has a similar content...my bad...this one above is more better without the dreaded photographer and it is cleaner, sharper. The view is magnificent from where I sit here on my desk...viewing it in a bigger screen is so much better than a smallist laptop downstairs...

    I would name this photograph "camouflaged" and all problems are solved at once.

    Very nice image indeed...
    Did you add some cloud ?

    I would also prefer it without the photographer. However I think that the image is really made by the unusual colouring of the landscape. This is probably partly created by the lowering sky, which also contributes to the overall effect.

    Thanks Nandakumar,

    No I didn't add any clouds but I added some structure to them to add a bit more drama.

    It was taken in the middle of winter so the landscape is mostly dead grass hence the yellowish/pale green colour.

    He wasn't that friendly in real life anyway

    I'm going back up to this location in the next couple of weeks and I hope to get a better shot at sunrise, its spooky up there though and an hours up hill hike so I might camp up there if I'm feeling brave.
